WALKING IN THE RAIN

under a cold starry sky
hand in hand they walked by
she thought of him to be her one true friend
and he thought of her as his one true love

they had been together for many years
through ups and downs ,smiles and tears
with both unsure of the other's feelings
and unsure for whom their heart was beating

neither had the courage to own up
neither had the courage to ask
and now and errie silence stood between them
a wall through which neither could pass

thus they walked turmoil raging in their hearts
and anguish dancing in his soul
when they both felt they couldn't take anymore
Nature took control

A gentle breeze
a caressing drizzle
the cloudy sky
yet the full moon shining high

this brought Smile to their faces
thoughts of exotic days and far away places

the Smiles blossomed into Laughter
and Laughter brought Her friend Joy
and there they stood the wall now broken
and they spoke thoughts unspoken

and finally,he told her of the love in his heart
and of his desire to be together and never part

he let his emotions ride
and made his feeling known
he spoke eloquently of the love in his heart
and ask her to join him in wedlock

she hesitated still unsure
her heart raced with emotions unseen
then a sudden moment of clarity
and only He could be seen

the frown ceased and the brows widened
the pursed lips flowered into a smile
blood rushed to her cheeks and made her flush
and her eyes exuded a starry glow

"yes "she said face alight
"marry me"she said voice full of life
in the church they stood faces bright
thereby pronounced man and wife
