Moonlight Dance

Upon the far horizon
A glowing light appears
The moon in all her majesty
Her ascension all reveres

Ocean waters shimmer
Black transforms to gold
Bundled up by swirling waves
To the sea king be sold

Rising in radiant brilliance
Luna lights the night blues
Clouds billow above the deep
Clothing her with white hues

Dazzling majestic moon
With your pure robes
Hemmed with glittering gold
Around your shimmering globe

Stars dance in pure delight
Honouring her majesty’s reign
Twilight quickly fades to none
Her beloved she seeks in vain

Sailing across the murky skies
Where to has he gone?
Sadness shadows across her face
Luna’s search alone finds none

Day by day a veil of grief
Covers her sheer wonder
Hiding herself from the world
Behind the horizon yonder

Just before all hope is lost
Her back she turned to cry
Rays of pure delight and warmth
Begins to fill up the sky

Could it be the tide has turned?
Luna’s long lost love returns
Covering and embracing her in
Adoration in his heart that burns

The brilliance of Solaris flares
Showing his heart’s fire is true
The veil of darkness slips away
Joyful bliss in the sky now blue

Turning to her love once gone
Tears of sadness wiped away
Luna’s face in fullness glows
Magnetic dance begins to sway

Embrace in celestial display
Merging marriage of delight
Union in eclipse be awed
Ring of light and love burns bright
