Moonlit Ebony
in the silence of the loneliest of nights
will ever so gently the moon caress my skin
and tingle stir to life the dreams that sleep
your voice like honey on my lips
will soothe away my cares
so the world can suddenly conspire
to cast and whirl enchant and dance
release its myriads of stars
all to overwhelm my senses
while you are somewhere out there
maybe reaching too into the vastness
hoping i might somehow meet you halfway
