Modern Melodies

In the hum of city streets, a couple weaves, 

Modern love, with dreams it conceives. 

Two hearts entwined, young and bound, 

In the dance of life, their fate unwound. 

Her silhouette adorned in the morning light, 

A budding belly, a secret delight. 

He, with shoulders burdened, carries the weight, 

Of bills and dreams that may abate. 

Hand in hand, they dance through strife, 

A ballet of love, embracing life. 

Yet, shadows linger, a whispering fear, 

As tragedy tiptoes, drawing near. 

In the quiet of night, dreams take flight, 

They wonder where life's currents might, 

Lead them, with the child yet unborn, 

In the cosmos of fate, where stars are sworn. 

Every heartbeat echoes a destiny unknown, 

In the dance of life, their story's tone. 

Through struggles and joy, they withstand, 

A modern tale written in the shifting sand.
