Midnight Pearl

MIDNIGHT PEARL It was well past midnight, the streets dark and bare She appeared out of nowhere, just standing there A full moon slithered across a cloudy sky I was mesmerized by her without knowing why Never had I seen such a beautiful young girl She shimmered and glistened like a precious pearl She approached me slowly and took my hand The warmth of her closeness was truly so grand She guided me toward the seashore close by Spoke not a word -- she seemed rather shy The rest of the evening is all just a blur When I finally awoke, I couldn't find her I searched the shoreline both up and down I talked with shopkeepers all over town No one had seen this lithe sensation And said I must be having an hallucination Was I only dreaming -- was she really there What actually happened -- what did we share I may never again see this lovely young girl But I'll always remember my Midnight Pearl Curtis Moorman 19 April 2012 For the contest: Midnight Pearl
