Priest Lake Lovers

Priest Lake Lovers

 

We slip away onto the lake

Into the night.

Her blonde hair shimmers softly

In the moonlight.

 

Her hand slides into mine;

I squeeze back gently.

We're making a passage

Not taken lightly.

 

Our fingers intertwine;

Her tender touch warms my heart.

Life couldn't be more complete;

Nothing will pull us apart.

 

Together now fifty years;

I follow her light.

Her grey hair shimmers softly

In the moonlight.
