Eternal Dance In the moonlight, shadows dancing Their bodies intertwined as one Two together, now romancing The moonlit waltz has just begun In the moonlight, they are swaying In this dance they’ve danced before No sound, no rhythm, no music playing They tread as one, the two, once more In the moonlight, shadows dancing In quiet stillness, watch them now Their fluid motion, so entrancing The dance, it seems, a sacred vow In the moonlight, tears are falling And she murmurs, cries his name He pulls her closer as she’s calling It all has changed, but yet’s the same In the moonlight, shadows dancing Her voice to him, it does implore As time and morning are advancing She whispers to him, “Evermore” In the moonlight, watch them swaying No longer are they flesh and bones While underground, their bodies laying Here amongst the aged tombstones In the moonlight, shadows dancing Things happen that we can’t explain So two souls, discovery chancing Kiss, as it begins to rain In the moonlight, Love has risen As daylight breaks, they disappear They’ve now released their earthly prison Or were they ever really here? To love means never to be afraid of the windstorms of life: should you shield the canyons from the windstorms you would never see the true beauty of their carvings. ~Elizabeth Kubler-Ross |

~Ruth~ Let me be the first to say that this is simply beautiful and shows that soulmates do exist and reunite even after death. I remember this piece, and it is even better the second time. How I love the way your mind works, you write such romantic poetry. This has my vote  Take care, Melissa Honeybee |

Jeff Gordon ( the Nascar driver) has caused me to come to dislike this word, But I can't help myself. AWESOME. I know I will have that phrase in my head for days on end. "Moonlight Shadows Dancing". I Love it. Jamie Tu ne cede malis, sed contra audentior ito. - Virgil. "Yield thou not to adversity, but press on the more bravely". |

Ruth, This was wonderful. Breathtaking imagery and an excellent book choice. Got my vote!! LW Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility. --William Wordsworth |

I remember when you posted this during the challenge....you walked away with first prize! I can see this poem on the first page of Ron's book. Who better to grace the pages of a poetry book than Passion's Princess of Poetry? A life isn't significant except for its impact on other lives. |

Ruth... unlike most of other love poems.. you poem seems to flow like a stream to the sea all the way through!! It's just such a marvelous poem, and it shows the vista of love, which i have been looking for. - James The beauty of nature is displayed, not through itself, but through the creatures dwelling within its bosom. |
