Moonbeams

All is silent on this moonlit night, eyes are shut as people dream. Yet I lay awake.

I stare out my window, immersing my thoughts and myself into the starry sky.

My eyes wonder across the various constellations and galaxies as I ask myself, why am I here?

My existence compared to this vast arena of stars before me, is nothing more than a dust mote on the sea of life.

I climb from my bedroom window, greeting the night in my pajamas, as the cool air whips through my hair.

My feet drop onto the dew covered grass and I step further into the brilliance of the moonlight.

Where shall I go? What to do as to not waste this radiant evening?......Who is here with me?

A silhouette on the lawn, not a stranger, someone my heart recognizes. My breath catches.

He bows elegantly, dark hair blending in with the shadows. Sapphire eyes that put the stars to shame.

He offers his hand, I stare into those deep pools of blue. How do I trust? Will he let me fall?

My hand meets his and we draw closer. Then, we begin to dance. Across the lawn, across the stars.

He carries me away, from worries and thoughts I can not change. My prince dances with me and our song never ends.
