After the Night...

The moon is a crescent peeking o'er the trees

The breeze slips melodiously by in the leaves

The birds silent, waiting for the dawn's song.

The owl is screeching what she's known all along...

And along the shore I see a light

The water black, but reflecting bright

A thousand fairies across the waves

Fireflies wait, they wait, they wait

A reflection shimmers in shadow still

I feel the presence of another's will

I move along the shore, the shore

Searching for Searching for forgotten lore.

And as I clear the forest path

Her eyes meet mine, in moonlight's bath

I stretch to see her in the night

Her eyes alive with my insight

How did we know to meet in this place?

What force could draw us to turn and face?

With reflections and shimmering resisting mirage

We keep walking, keep walking 'til we see our visage.

And in this moment we stop

Dead in our tracks

Neither can move

Nor can we relax

How could the fates bring us

here, In this way?

How could we remember

Each other's face?

But we do.

I see you.

Finally, my dear.

Yes, so long,

It has been, I fear.

I knew you would come.

I knew you would, too

The softest embrace

The quieter kiss

They dance in the moonlight

on the shore, on the shore

The coyotes, their symphony

Their whispers, their lore

And after the night

They fall in embrace

They sink in the softness

of truth's wild pace.

Awake, awake

The Sun High in the trees

Sparkling down

"I am pleased, I am pleased."
