A Dance with Raven
A Dance with Raven
RavenBlackeMoon
whether you be young or old
tall or short wide or thin
I ask your heart these minutes away
float with mine across this terrace of space between us.
single white star;
layer it with more millions
toss the moon on its blanket
walk slowly benath its canopy
look upturned to this heavens melody
like some glorious music above our heads
towards an evening dance of shadow
and stars sweeping soundlessly.
There was a moment we seemed to circle
this way under a sea of starlight .
where all seemed understood .
and all feeling inside mirrored
the charm of some moonlight dance
if only for the length of a song
a word.... a picture
barefoot
hold your shoes
in your other take my hand
an arm round your waist
swirl within the columns of moonlight
cross the wind sweeping soundless
being a floor for movement unaccustomed and familiar.
Look away together from both of us
angel on wings of night
hold for our hearts dancing
motionless close and regardless.
While the universe around us races away and away,
before I leave you at your place,
before I let you go,
before you turn,
before i take my leave;
let me take your hand
to kiss it goodbye
and thank you for the dance.
