Lady of the NIght

By Silence

I looked up to the sky
Spotting something melded into the nights darkness
I thought I spied the moon crawling closer
As the black back drop shifted

A flowing pattern back and forth as though dancing
Only to see slowly the darkness slipping off
The darkness was only a cover

My eyes set upon pearled skin of a shoulder
Further slipping of the illusion
I can see a neck and from there it fell quickly
Revealing such a face of pure softness

You walked along the stars
As if the twilight was a pebbled beach
Stars the stones you stepped upon to reach me

Beconing me out even when I was weary
My heart reached out to clasp your fingers
Drawing you to me and myself to you

A place between the earth and heaven
Where you and I can be
As close as a man can be to true perfect happiness
