To Dance Beneath A Thousand Moons

[Ylanne Abdul Saleeb]

How many years, since last we shared the promise of our tryst?
How long since I have told time by the shadows of your face?
The sweet memories impossible to erase
By candlelit roses, gleaming stars and by the aureate sun
Telling ghost stories we didn’t believe around the campfire
Sitting by the side of a pool too cold to get in
Laughter – the incarnation of happiness

I do not live until you are beside me
I do not live until you are within me
Breathe your spirit into mine
Breathe your hope into my being

I know we will meet again someday soon
And when we do, how joy will fill my soul
We will sing songs of bliss, sharing songs of sorrow
And we will dance beneath a thousand moons!
