i love the quiet blush
of the sunset on
the lake;
gentle waves lapping at your
toes like minnows.

sitting on the dock
with the willow trees
around us,
the wind sighing and
content as a smile.

there are some moments
i wish i could stop,
pause and revisit
again and again
and again and again.

because even though the world
around us teemed with beauty,
i could only see the radiance
of your smile

on that last day of summer.

Cafuné; verb; Brazilian Portuguese – “The act of tenderly running one’s fingers through someone’s hair.”

Amazing piece of work. :)

I like the way the verses feel like the little waves.

Just one thing: cafuné is a substantive, not a verb, even being an action.
