She was drapped
in a long black billowy dress,
her matching long black hair
adorned with liquid silver strands,
her body,
adorned with turquoise jewels.
Stepping out into the night,
she breathed deep,
the scents of evening's air,
of lilacs,
wafting through the breezes.
She looked up
and there he was,
awaiting her arrival.
With a nod of soft aura beams,
he began the music
which only she could hear.
Opening her arms wide,
she swayed
and twirled to his rythym,
delighting in his midnight song.
In a voice,
meant for only her ears,
he crooned elegantly,
his passionate ballad.
As the tempo picked up,
she spun,
she twisted,
she shimmied
and froliced
in carefree
and careless movements.
She became breathless
with uninhibited delight,
pulse quickening,
hair flying
in unruly waves
and her eyes
glossy-eyed with rapture.
She moved in dizzying pace,
her feet seemingly leaving
the ground below her,
and almost weightless,
she glided upon the
atmospheric currents.
All too soon,
the cadence slowed,
the melody tapered
and the refrain subsided,
leaving her
with a longing for more.
She knew
it was always fleeting,
these times of her moon-dance.
But she knew too,
that the night
would return again,
tomorrow.
And she would dance,
once more,
underneath
his approving
and watchful gaze.
