Pillow

Pillow

It happens
Serendipity
A moment created
Lost in time
          Movement
Candlelight softens red
Cards shuffle
Queen of hearts rule
An introduction
          Absorb
Mirrors reflect nerves
Anticipation disrupts
Loud music to ground
Whiskey to calm
          Composure
City lights and honking horns
Much laughter
The starlight remained bright
A door that destiny opened
