Love's Plight
A 'Love in 50 Words' Challenge Entry
Across tranquil waters, rises a sound
Enchantment echoes, lifts, abounds
Melodic fate reverberates, fulfills the night
In symphonies triumphant of love’s plight
Scattered stars streak beyond the moonlit sky
Whispering luminous songs much like a sigh
While flower petals on the water fall,
And destined hearts heed love's call

A poem with a thousand shades but with the central message of love. Very emotional, nostalgic, and deeply introspective.
