The Stars Fill the Night
the stars fill the night
moonlight dances amidst shadows
we have retired to the backyard
where fireflies dance
our world has come to rest
the day is fast closing
somewhere palaces are in celebration
people lost in banquets and dance
sharing unending conversations
searching for joy, a moment of laughter
here we sit hand in hand
lost in the silence of each other
while fireflies chase their dreams
i have but one
the day's final kiss
holding you until sleep takes me
knowing the day's greatest joy awaits
as dawn breaks across the horizon
you will fold into me
good morning my love
hysteria as our lips meet
somewhere they are cleaning
the palace
