Porch Serenade

In the gentle embrace of a porch's shade, Two figures sit, their hearts not swayed, By the world's din, but in quietude they stay, Together reading, in a peaceful way. The woman's hat, a straw crown adorned, The man's black hat, a tale of stories unborn, Their hands, a gentle dance, as they hold the page, A shared moment, in a serene stage. The newspaper, a bridge to the world's tale, A connection to the life beyond their vale, Their faces bent, in a gentle, studious gaze, Drinking in the words, in a tranquil daze. The porch, a shelter, from life's turbulent sea, A haven where love and peace entwine, wild and free, In this still moment, they are one, you see, A bond of love, in harmony.
