THE EVERGLADES

I love the moon
In all its phases
It gives me company
As night passes
Into a new day.
Your unique laughter
Echoes and echoes
Like a symphony
Allaying my fear.
The moments pass
Like a comely lass
As I see you smiling
In my crystal glass.
Everything fades
In the circle of life
Except the love --
'The Everglades'.
The tavern's saqi*
She often sighs
As I lose myself
In your deep eyes.
So my beloved
Despair not
There's still so much
For us to share.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Inspired by the thoughts of my beloved woman while passing time in the company of a full moon and sombre solitude.
