Example:
he proposed
and his voice
cast a spell
over me
thereafter,
silence fell
upon us
like a veil
and quiet
crimson leaves
danced and dived
to the ground
touched my face
tenderly
and earth hummed
his love song
his body
sighed waiting,
my answer
rode the breeze
then I knew
I meant to
be in this
blest moment
yes, I do!
