The wings of night <br />few silently under a silver moon, <br />lovers gazed into each other’s eyes <br />as they walked together <br />under a canopy of silence. <br /> <br />The eyes of night watched <br />as they walked <br />and no murmur was heard. <br />It was if they were enveloped <br />within a canopy of silence. <br /> <br />The two lovers leant against a tree <br />entangled in each other’s arms <br />as the moon shone down on them <br />and the stars danced in the night sky. <br />They held each other close <br />under a canopy of silence.<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-canopy-of-silence/
