Moon-Lit Dancing

The blue rays of the moon above me Shower me with hope of the surely stormy sea And the shine help breaks through the darkness and lets me see But the sight is nearly more that my heart can bear too be All of them all holding hands in a linked circle feeling free Their eyes lit up with images of only me But I am not in the circle they’ve created And from this fact no one seems the least bit agitated A tear falls from my face, for the music I could never create The haunting melody sings my lonely soul to sleep But when I think it to much to bear I open my eyes to see them all standing there With their faces all lit up with happiness It is so unusual to see such bliss But they smile and grab my hand, leading me on And they laugh at my confused smile that has grown Guiding my footsteps until we reach the destination The moon is still there, so no more contemplation And the melody that has been haunting me through my mind Finally escapes through the colorless keys I will find My music carried them away to the place where I am The darkness evaporated; there was no more sham The giddiness overtook me and I too leapt up to dance The feeling of the moon put us all into a trance The creaky boards that made our shoes tap and click Was as sure as the song that made our souls tick And always I look to the moonlit sky for the joy of that dance Wonder if it could again sweep me off for a chance And one night it happened, so swiftly it came And as I remembered it, it was all the same They still laugh beneath the beautiful magnificence of the light They dance in the moon; all through the dead of night
