Ember Nights Poem by Francois Hoon

Light whistling of leaves on trees
Lights flashing, softly, on faraway clouds
A breeze of rain freshens the air
We, looking beyond at nature fair

The grass in front seems attentive our voices
Gently warming the ambience we share
A velvety tie of tenderness sweet
O so deeply the wish our hearts to meet

As darkness of night our senses behold
An ember temperate breathing its glow
A gentle heat ebbing as waves
The ambience of breath
Pulsingly kindle

Latent in waiting
Ember soft
Dreaming of fires, ignited, ablaze
A brilliance of heat to scorch all else
Gently we await,
Sharing ember nights
