Moonlight Dance

Silence fills the room, My ears roar like the sea. I turn to face the moon, A shadow washes over me. I close my eyes and listen, A heart is beating on my left. I lean a little closer, I feel breath upon my neck. I reach a hand up to the ceiling, And feel the webs with my fingers. I take a step forward on the dusty floor, And hear the moan of an empty house. I feel a hand upon my back, I turn and see no one. I retreat to a dark corner, And watch, and hope I find. Are you hiding in the shadows, Will you show me your face. Is that your breath, Is that your heartbeat. There's a chill, Yet A warmth is coming over me. I close my eyes once more, I feel a heart connecting with mine. I hold my hand out, I touch warmth. I open my eyes slowly, And find a shadow. I take a step forward, It takes a step back. I move a little quicker, It glides into the moonlight. What a beautiful sight, I found you.
