In the stillness of the night, <br />A faint cry for love is heard. <br />Echoing far into the distance, <br />Soaring higher than any bird. <br /> <br />In the stillness of the night, <br />Under the moonlight shining. <br />She hears his painful cry, <br />While alone she is dining. <br /> <br />She starts on a journey, <br />To seek out his heartfelt cry. <br />For if she ignores his plea, <br />He may slowly but surly die. <br /> <br />In the stillness of the night, <br />As she wanders on her way. <br />She must find this lost soul, <br />She can not turn away. <br /> <br />For she is lost as well, <br />Deep inside she also weeps. <br />Though she may not know it, <br />He wanders himself, her soul he seeks. <br /> <br />His cry for love gets louder, <br />Her cry as well echos out. <br />In the stillness of the night, <br />Together they wander about. <br /> <br />As they draw closer, <br />Their loneliness begins to fade. <br />For their journey is coming to an end, <br />From this love that has conveyed. <br /> <br />They come together at last, <br />Under the midnight sun. <br />In the stillness of the night, <br />Two young lovers have begun.<br /><br />Adam McKim<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-the-stillness-of-the-night-3/
