This Lonely Night

This lonely night Silhouettes and darkened skies Nightfall finds a lonely heart Wishes sent on winter’s sighs Thoughts on velvet heavens chart Promises of wind born flow Shadows dance a slumbered song Here beneath a full moon glow Dreaming as the night is long Parting fields, desire’s cry Calling out in echoed whim Imagination, child’s eye Pleading you were here again Reaching out for what I miss Far beyond this empty stare Seeking endlessly your kiss Moments in the night to share The hour late, a silence falls My eyes now gaze a northern star Appearing as it softly calls So very close, so very far Yet in this vision I can see Illumined on the sky so bright That you do send your love to me So tenderly this lonely night Good night Soupers
