A quiet time, the world exhaled,
Moonlight folds across the rail;
Your breath, a hymn upon my skin,
Keeps the restless dark within.
We drift like smoke, no need for words,
Only the hush of midnight birds;
Stars spell out what we both know—
Love stays close when time runs slow.
Let engines fade, let cities dim,
All that stirs is light and limb;
Hold this hush, don’t break the rhyme,
Stay with me in a quiet time.
