~Starlit Evening~
by Duncan Cary Palmer

Do you ache for me
At the window pane,
Gazing on a starlit evening?
Does your soul reach out
O'er the weary miles
When you see the rising moon?

As you call my name
In your fevered dream,
At midnight, bathed in starlight,
Am I still the hope
Of your swelling heart
Underneath the rising moon?

Do I yet hold sway
As the man you love
On this lovely starlit evening?
Do you still recall
The sweet times we shared
When you view the waxing moon?

That bookcase I once built for you
In a dream so very long ago:
I'll refashion it, and more one day.
We will tread the stars again,
And be more than artless friends
'Midst the craters of the Moon.

I once promised you we'd marry;
Once for all, we'll join two heartbeats
When the obstacles are gone.
We will sail the stars together,
We will walk upon the Moon.

In a dream that lives
Deep within my soul,
I hold you in the starlight.
We will build a house
Where we both can dwell
Underneath the harvest moon.

Soon the day will dawn
When we set a course,
Wand'ring in the starlight.
We will leave the pain
Of the past behind,
As we sail beyond the moon.
We will tread among the stars.
We will sail beyond the moon.

~FIN~
