Ah August moon
Truly beauty
Is not for long

The nights
Have begun to cool

I can feel
The beginning
Of that stolid caravan
Ending another year

Do you remember
That slender girl
The maiden without
The need for veils
Who’d glide the floor
Like thoughts of Paradise
Under our summer’s eyes

Where is she now
Who filled the air
With dreams of love
Forevermore

I listen for answer
In your gleaming hour

And all I hear
Is silence

Ah, but if you don't fight the silence, but embrace it, and imbibe it, you will hear in its heart, the whisper of that voice from the past, and the moon, in her shining hour, will light your way to her.
