Dancing of the Moonbeams

This poem was written at the end of a lonely day, when I knew that I had an equally lonely

night ahead of me. It was a night for lovers, and yet I did not have my lover with me. So I

looked up at the sky and hoped that my lover would be looking into the sky where he was,

knowing that though we were apart, we were joined together not only by love, but also by

the endless sky that went from daylight to darkness in a never ending cycle. A day, a night,

for lovers all over the world to remember the love and friendship that brought them together in

The dancing of the moonbeams

Play out across the darkening sky

For the day is quickly dimming

As the sun slips below the starlit sky

I look with wonder at the sight

Of the day giving way to dusk

Of the moon starting its evening glow

As with the closing of the day, it surely must

Even on a stormy night

The moon sends out its warming glow

As the sun dips below from sight

And the starlit sky starts to show

The colours from the fading sun

Are played out upon the clouds all around

The splendour of the sight they show

Makes their beauty so profound

They warm the hearts of those that look

Upon the closing of the day

To see the darkness of the night

Send the daylight on its way

For the moon gives out that special glow

For lovers all around the world to see

It’s the dancing of those moonbeams

That I wish for you to share, with me.
