JWP #09 ~~~ Meeting of their Hearts

Title: Meeting of their Hearts
Theme: July Writing Prompt #09 - July 25
Prompt: Poem (use however it inspires you)

Meeting At Night, by Robert Browning

The grey sea and the long black land;
And the yellow half-moon large and low;
And the startled little waves that leap
In fiery ringlets from their sleep,
As I gain the cove with pushing prow,
And quench its speed i' the slushy sand.

Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach;
Three fields to cross till a farm appears;
A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch
And blue spurt of a lighted match,
And a voice less loud, through its joys and fears,
Than the two hearts beating each to each!

A/N: Actually it should have been shorter and with a different main subject, but somehow it evolved to this. Had even to cut something, which will be used in another fill. :P
