A Love Song In Moonlight
I wrote a song for you one night,
and sang to stars in merry mood.
It warbled with the birds in flight,
then, hummed a breezy interlude.
My lyrics floated to gold moon,
who asked, “can this sweet song be shared
with the dear one for whom you croon
so tenderly as love’s declared?”
I thought of your embrace upon
A full moon’s glow if love were true.
I also thought of anguished dawn
if clouds kept light from breaking through.
By refrain’s end, my choice was clear.
With guiding light from sprightly sky,
I sang of love into your ear,
and to gold moon we dared to fly.
I wonder now, “why did I fear
feelings that moonlight did expose?”
Rejection stings but worse is years
alone and bitter in shadows.
So, thanks to my friend, golden moon,
enlightened orb of rhythmic art,
my song lifted like a balloon
and landed in a waiting heart.
