This Lonely Night
This lonely night
Silhouettes and darkened skies
Nightfall finds a lonely heart
Wishes sent on winter’s sighs
Thoughts on velvet heavens chart
Promises of wind born flow
Shadows dance a slumbered song
Here beneath a full moon glow
Dreaming as the night is long
Parting fields, desire’s cry
Calling out in echoed whim
Imagination, child’s eye
Pleading you were here again
Reaching out for what I miss
Far beyond this empty stare
Seeking endlessly your kiss
Moments in the night to share
The hour late, a silence falls
My eyes now gaze a northern star
Appearing as it softly calls
So very close, so very far
Yet in this vision I can see
Illumined on the sky so bright
That you do send your love to me
So tenderly this lonely night
Good night Soupers
