Cottage by the Lake

My husband and I retreat each year
to this enchanted cottage by the lake.
Here, we observe a glimpse of Heaven,
where brilliant Autumn tones revive
the splendor of God's scenic nature.

We venture outdoors in blush of dawn,
to witness exquisite efforvescense,
freshly bathed in morning's newness-
a gentle reminder of our love,
innocently pure each new day.

We breathe the sweet scent of honey-suckle,
mingled with the delicate aroma of tuberose,
gloriously permeating the chilling breeze,
arousing as the fragrance of our awakened love,
tantalizing our senses, restoring our harmony.

At dusk, we view resplendant sunsets,
descending behind the bordering palisades.
Our bond more vivid than the Heavenly hues.
It's a majestic vision with seagulls in flight.
Our love takes wing, soaring eminently,
surpassing the extent of the mountain tops.

In the cool of night, we sit by the hearth,
zealousness ignites intensity in our eyes,
rekindling the ardent flame of passion
that contines to blaze radiantly,
growing more intense over the years.

Though I wish these magical, quite moments
affectionately shared with you would not end,
we'll take our love, renewed, back home with us.
We shall embrace within a sacred memory,
one our hearts will always cherish.
