Analysis of The walk

Hailey Silva 1993 (Sheridan, Wyoming)



A howling moon set to brighten the souls in the dawn of night,
Awaiting to catch a glimpse of the stars beside him,
She stands alone on the corner seeking her path,
A soft breeze kisses her warm cheek,
He walks slowly confused where he is heading,
Will the light guide the night hand in hand to calm meadows??
A wrong turn will never be comforting to one's heart,
Perhaps the essence of the unknowing brings an unmistakable excitement that is craved,
Under the light of the sky two hearts walking in the cloud we call life,
Eyes connected for the first time,
No words are needed when two souls can walk together,
Can an emotion live within a star glimmering so far above,
For two star struck lovers meeting for the first time,
They join hand in hand to continue the walk of life!
