Bed Of Dreams..by Michael

She brushes her hair in the reflection of a moonlit lake.

A paddle gently rubs the water as the canoe

Slowly reaches the shore. Her cabin awaits with a night light

On the front porch to guide the way as she yawns herself

Into a bed of dreams. He combs his hair in the reflection of a lake

Now glowing with sunrise. He yawns himself into his bed of dreams.

A canoe is shared by two strangers some nights later who met

A little while ago. Thoughts of a meeting were shared by both

In a bed of dreams. One cabin has no porch light

As the other one does. Occupancy now shared in one place.

Vacations end as something else has a new beginning.

She brushes her hair in the bathroom mirror

As he combs his from right behind her.

A new husband and wife yawn together and then go

To the same bed of dreams...

I loved the language you used here. Especially the parts about brushing their hair... absolutely beautiful

Thank you so much as we felt the same about brushing the hair. Bless you for this lovely compliment.

I think it might sound better if "night light" was a different word, like "lantern". Night lights are so childlike, and this is a grown woman. Other than that, this was really pretty.
