Moonlight Reverie
Moonlight shines through my lonely evening
Bringing soft illumination to my inner heart
Warming, reminding me of long distant nights
When we cuddled and were entirely one.
My soul is humming a subtle tune we knew
A distant voice trills a single plaintive note
Assuring me the whole spirit world is dancing.
Then I pull the filmy sheer across the pane
Draw my favorite caftan into a reassuring hug
And savor a moonlit moment alone embracing.
