A Spot of Moonlight


Standing in the light of the moon I’d share thoughts of you,

There was no one else there so it was a strange thing to do,

Swore I’d never feel this way standing here wishing on a star,

With each breath of air taken in I smell your hair from so far,

 

Two steps left taken slow to remain lit in the light of the moon,

Diamond rings written true came from my heart a bit too soon,

A slow waltz with you in my arms absent your beautiful frame,

Although you are unseen tonight I can feel of you just the same,

 

The spotlight of the moon moves slow yet so soon it will leave,

There’s a place of love in hearts belonging to all who believe,

In the light of tonight’s moon I swoon over you just for a dance,

My heart’s control over thoughts has put my mind in a trance,

 

As I look into God’s beautiful night sky I wonder where you are,

There’s not a diamond so grand that shines like a night star,

And of you there’s nothing compared to your beautiful eyes,

Sensations of love overwhelmed me beneath heavenly skies,

 

Thoughts of old and thoughts of new are still filled with you,

Memories of long ago can still inflict loneliness of deep blue,

The hands of time have rushed the moon to pass too soon,

Though I’m aged and worn for you I’ll try and stop the moon,

 

To hold you in my arms fulfills dreams of long ago and now,

Last night I wished upon an early star yet you knew somehow,

In the light of the moon I held you near and kissed lips so sweet,

Love of my heart, light of my life, you’ve made my life complete.

The end. For Patti by Pat
