the moon
she arrives
quietly

travels
lightly

under the cloak
of night
and endless stars

tenderly
she holds
my gaze
as if
we have been
in love
for a thousand years

whispering
our secrets
glowing
her knowing
answering
my wonderings

the moon
she travels
lightly

i drink her in
and soon
i fall asleep

crossing
her threshold
of dreams
and wild imaginings

where we travel
lightly
the cloak of night
and endless stars
billowing behind us
while we disappear
as one
into the mystery

“moonlight is a friend of mine she dances on my skin”
