   A Touch of Love and Moonlight
   (for all 'moon-atics' everywhere!)

Pale, silent queen of deepest night
orb of mystic, star-swept delight,
sovereign that draws the tides
of seas and of our longing souls
   toward love,
I pledge all the boundless joys
that ebb and flow within my
mind and heart of hearts to you
and to one loveliest lady-fine
though we remain so far apart
beneath that same bright moon.

I absolutely relate to this one, Bruce.

Very well done, my friend and the first stanzak - well, it was like I was listening to the end of the song "Nights In White Satin" . . . just before the closing crescendo.

enjoyed...
