In the moonlight, shadows dancing By the sea the night sings lovely Melodies that cast a knowing Warmly soothing that engulfs me Surely there could be no other Place on earth that’s near so charming As the sea It can cause a heart to flutter By the shore the night’s disarming As the moonbeams dance so brightly On the waves that roll and tumble Then surrender ever gently To the deep and I'm made humble By the sea In this place of rare discover I can refuge from all trouble For the shadows warmly cover Me and calm the heart of tremble Shadows, you’ll be gone by daylight Moonlight charm's for night romancing By the sea Shadows dancing in the moonlight In the moonlight, shadows dancing Dance with me < !signature--> Denise And slight is the sting of his trouble Whose winnings are less than his worth; For he who is honest is noble, Whatever his fortunes or birth.~~~Alice Cary, ~Nobility~ [This message has been edited by dsnyder (edited 01-25-2000).] |

Oh what a lovely dance you took me on....Beautiful I don't buy temporary insanity as they murder defense. Because people kill people. That's and animal instinct. I think breaking into someone's home and ironing all their clothes is temporary insanity. |

I'm dancing, I'm dancing! Wonderful work, Denise -- a lovely ocean scene you painted for us here, and all awash with dancing shadows and moonlit waves. What could be better? --Kess Full fathom five thy father lies, Of his bones are coral made, Those are pearls that were his eyes; Nothing of him that doth fade But doth suffer a sea-change Into something rich and strange... --William Shakespeare, from The Tempest |
