The Night in You

12 3 2
                                    

You slip like the light
across the canopy
over my eyes
and all I see

and cover my heart
and every dream
like a wavering
moonlight beam

Clouds linger in starlight
on invisible strands
The world seems still
until I feel the touch
of your hands

Then it moves
beyond expectations
The dawn holds back
its presentation

Daylight remains
just out of view
For I long to love
the night in you
