Nocturne

Nocturne All through the night the moon shines its silver beacon. I sit below in my room playing piano It is dark in the room. no lights but the moons candle. I play the beautiful soulful moonlight sonata. It was her favorite piece. My fingertips touch the keys as softly as the moonlight caressed her skin The vision is in my mind. it is locked in old memory in a place I always open on nights such as this. when old feelings will not sleep. Outside my window the world Is covered in pools of silver moonlight. All I can do is think and feel of you only of you. You are far from me now In another world that I shall never know. A world of light and gaiety. As my heart falls in tune with the soft melody I close my eyes and see you dancing with me in the moonlight. In the fantasy of my dreams. You smile and say “Be sure not to drown in pools of moonlight My Love” As if it could stop me from Drowning in my sorrow
