The moonlight fell on us
as we found a new path
with a distilled fragile iridescence
filtering down dreamily
its enchanted spectrum
somehow simmering

Like two moths to a candle
flickering in a soft, warm wind
the moonlight waved us in
while it waxed and waned
its primeval power penetrating
our soul's domain
landing on a spot deep within
where remembrances of the first light remain

We walked hand-in-hand lost
in what we found
our moon shadows
gently gliding on the ground
not knowing quite then
how slyly we had been bound
