Under a Waxing Moon

Falling in love

Deep within our memories

Of starlit evenings past

We walked among the willows

Dreaming of love that would last,

 

Wispy breezes of evening dew

Pulled at our heartstrings so

I took your hand in my hand

And let the streams of romance flow,

 

The sound of nature was our song

We listened to the crickets play

Stars above, our chandeliers

So we danced the night away,

 

We held each other ‘neath velvet skies

Kissed as our bodies swayed

Right then and there we fell in love

As the orchestra gently played,

 

Wonderful were those natural desires

This new journey we were on

Bright moon shadows and shooting stars

Lit our path from dusk till dawn,

 

Love has been a splendid thing

Indebted for this gift from above

Just you and me, dancing happily

~Together, forever in love. ~
