As the night grew still the moon laid bare
Her visage in a muted gleam.
The palest dancer cloaked in white
Reflected on a steady stream.
A contrast to the abyss that enveloped her stage,
This puppet strung by moonbeams
Gave a performance that seduced my soul
Beyond my wildest dreams.
The longer you glared, the more you could see
A form begin to take.
As body forges from silhouette,
You could feel the ground quake.
Her motions intensify as if given life
Birthed by admiring glance.
Every new detail made plain
Drives the mind to a trance.
No one can dance without music
And only the greatest orchestra will do.
One constructed by the earth itself
And the maestro is you.
From top to bottom you see her now,
A beauty truly rare.
The dark void of the night now gives way
To lovely, raven black hair.
The shadows of the leaves, made real by starlight,
Mimic percussion with ease,
Layered over the moons face creating freckles
And humming like honey bees.
Next we have a booming brass
Emitting from the river's stones.
The likes of which cast a perfect curvature
And well defined tone.
The gentle breeze embracing me
Carries her delicate voice.
The best wood winds nature has to offer
Gives you a call to rejoice.
The flow of the river holds the strings
Which tie it all together.
Steady motions lead to eyes and a smile
That I could lose myself in forever.
Her allure made obvious, the steps pick up
To get her audience riled.
Through motions and elegance unique to her,
Your senses are driven wild.
Your heartbeat quickens, your breathing now audible
You feel your defenses crumble.
For no sane man could resist her aggressive act
And playful tumble.
Yet, this night must end as all things do
For the sun is at door.
She prepares herself to leave this world
And leave you wanting more.
I ask if she could perform again for me
And with a smile she says "I can."
And with a rush I buy out the next shows
For I am her biggest fan.
She recedes from sight morphs back to light,
Plucked from the water to the sky.
I could not chase ascension
Despite my attempts to try.
All is well however,
I'll greet her soon with glee.
I patiently wait with the dawn
Thankful of the gift given to me.
