Moonlight Serenade

I hear your tinkling laughter
As you dance amongst the stars
Long before I spy your
Stately passage
Regal, from afar

I feel your ethereal music
Plucking strings within my heart
Whispering
I should come closer
We have spent
Too long apart

I know your spirit calls me
I am powerless in your thrall
Your magnetic pull
I can't resist
I surrender -
Give my all

I sense the play of silver
As I step into the night
A soft caress
On goose-bumped skin
A body
Bathed in light

I see you in your wholeness
Pale majesty displayed
A cyclical reminder
Of your
Moonlight serenade
