The stillness of the night revealed stars  
reflected on dark waters of the lagoon.
Orion was reaching its zenith, while the
thrush ushered  its final song.
 
Clouds had dispersed revealing silhouettes
of the  surrounding landscape.
The sweet scent of the night began
closing in like floral perfume.

I held you close as we stood observing
the shimmering reflections.
We were in a world of our own  sharing
secret  thoughts.
 
I know those moments are among distant
memories long past.
Yet, I feel your presence, especially
when warm nights return.
