The moonlight spreads itself Wider, broader On the wings of the gentle breezes of the stars. The water reflects the majesty Always repeating Yet it never seems to copy. The waves roll forth One after another A vast eternity Of waves breaking into white foam and sea spray On the barren shore. The eye is fascinating The pupil the night sky Moonless Robbed of soft folding beauty. The iris is the ocean at twilight The stars beginning to punctuate the fuzzy velvet. The roses give off a heady scent There are no roses in the sea, yet The darkening petals are unmistakable. Oh, to fly! To soar above the waves below To see the roses so impossible Like all things magical. The moon would be my halo The stars the jewels on my fingers and neck The night sky my feather-light silk dress. My arms would stretch wide To hold the Earth My beautiful beloved, my child. The sea is my eternal love His waters holding me ever-so-gently His salty spray sweet kisses. Light would be unnecessary But for the moons soft shine It would destroy me With its painful glare. The wind would be my wings Feather-light How I love things of such quality. Never again would the harsh sunlight and too-bright sky grate my skin. I could be open Free I would dance to my own song One that I wrote That the Heavens would sing. And my beloved Earth My sweet child Would heal and once more be whole. Oh, to fly! A moonlit dance Is wild and free.
