Moon Dance

Once upon a time so brightly
I had this compulsion to dance
Just holding you oh so tightly;
In thoughts of romantic perchance
Realistic dreams of nuance.
Your silver beam of love the lure
Bathed in splendour ever so pure
In breath upon the breeze clement;
Held here within your light the cure
I thank the lord for this moment.

oh yes, that most beautiful memory engrained forever on the mind, something I write of so often myself. I see that since I last visited this one, you won a contest with it. Back in 2016, so a very belated congrats for that, Harry.
