As night slowly covers the sky,
And morn after morn ambles by,
So has your soft inner glow
Gently captured my eye.
Not like cresting a tall mountain peak,
Or like eagle and hawk, beak to beak,
Before the need even to speak,
It's your beauty I seek.
As sure as the blue sky above,
As snug as a hand fits its glove,
I surprise my heart - quiet grey dove -
Thinking this must be love.
So has your soft inner glow

The feelings and the yearnings are spot-on for that of a loved one's presence! Rightly so Sherry!

Oh, yes! You capture the surprise and the yielding, the clues to love, however small:

The last stanza is telling. One may be brought back to stark reality in many instances not privileged in seeing what is expected. Success is elusive!
