For the Enchantment Through a Prism contest.

Mark Halliday Enchantment through A Prism contest 24 December 2014
Soft moonlight
Reflects off my guitar
As I wait for you 'neath your window.
I spy your shadow silhouetted by a light.
Taking a deep breath, I start to sing and finger my guitar;
An air of unrequited love, and the sadness of life in the shadow.
Title # 3

Shades of Glenn Miller. Your unrequited love is touched nicely in the, the guitar being such a sensitive sound. Love, daver

I was thinking more like a musical Cyrano De Bergerac. Thanks for commenting.

Thanks. All the best for you and yours in 2015! Always enjoy your comments. We're in the middle of moving into a quaint old house we purchased. Not much of a Christmas (moved about 4 carloads of boxes and small items yesterday), but a great start for the new year.
