A lantern shimmered near the restless tide
Carving gold pathways where your hopes reside
Its tiny flame endured the evening cold
Guarding the stories only lovers hold
Your silhouette drifted along the foam
Turning the fragile shoreline into home
Each quiet movement shaped a sacred vow
Soft as the velvet night allows
Wind carried fragments of a silver song
Promising dawn would not betray the strong
Warmth rose slowly from the ocean floor
Meeting your heartbeat at the lantern shore
Even when daylight stole the moonlit theme
The flame returned inside each faithful dream
A promise written where your footsteps pour—
The lantern whispers: “Love is evermore ”
