Dance of Night

I stand along the shoreline once more
looking out over the open waters
My mind thinks back on cherished moments
smiling with every thought that passes through
As the stars shine brightly above
I watch us dance beneath a shining moon
Gently laying my head upon his chest
I feel every beat of his heart
Looking up into his eyes, not a word is spoken
for I speak from the essence thereof
One touch, a kiss, this dance
it can all be seen through these eyes
The passion that lies within comes from this heart
that can be felt throughout the atmosphere
This moment, right here, right now
all emotion is brought to the surface of these waters
Waves crashing against us, we dance into the sea
I look around and find myself alone once more
Still smiling, I softly whisper
"Until next time, my love"

Alana, this radiates with the light of love and romance. The imagery is surperb, while the presented piece is both smooth and of the perfect tone. Marvelous! Michael
