Starlight

Starlight falls from heaven
Like a gentle evening rain.
The moon climbs through the twilight
And love begins again.

Nightingales sing chorus'.
Doves swoon breathlessly.
Evening thrills the anxious heart
With dreams of ecstasy.

….then touch my heart
so it may be- 
still as thunder
on a reckless sea.

….hear my spirit's
fervent plea-
light the flame
that died in me.

And when our night has ended
With sunshine from the day,
In the brilliance of the new light,
Old dreams will fade away.
