The Proposal
Silver moonlight
on the backs
of sleeping geese.
Night birds calling
softly
over the hills
and trees.
Stars
glowing
in winter air.
The music
of the wind
in the cedars
at snowfall.
All these things
speak beauty
and hope
and promise
to my soul.
These things
are loved
by me
but only adornments
in my life.
Nothing
nothing
compares
to the magic
I find in your arms.
I offer you my heart
and these gifts
forever
jewels wrapped
in the velvet
of my life.
Marry me, Princess.
