Contest 5 Lines Of Wonder by Errant Panther

Just as the title says, I want you to pen something that will amaze me in 5 lines.

Prompt: midnight rendezvous

I want:
* imagery, emotion and/or poetic devices.
* even flowing lines - not prose.
* appropriately labelled entries - it's an all ages contest.

I Don't Want:
* anything deemed offensive or abusive.
* entries using the prompt as a title - be creative people.
* to have to digest a thesaurus to determine your point.

Have fun and showcase your poetic talents.

Update: I will be visiting family for 4 days so judging will commence on my return - apologies for any inconveniance, but please do not remove your entries.

    Thank you to each and every one of you for your varied and creative entries, it was a pleasure and a surprise in some instances to read your wonderful words.
