In The Moonlight Shadows Dancing In the hushed stillness of the darkest night When the moon casts her mysterious light There in the velvet blackness the stars glow And the river of night begins its nightly flow In that place between dreaming and awake You realise that life is there for you to take Just before you enter into your dreaming time Before the night calls you to stand in its line Reach out into the night and take your place Look into the night to see Shadows dark face Don’t deny her dark allure yield to your fate Take her hand and dance before it’s too late In the moonlight Shadows dancing her dance Give into you desires, come take your chance Her skin softly glints in the silver moonlight And her smile is full of the mystery of night What do you see reflected in her dark eyes? Is it, could she be the reason for your sighs? In your mind you’re already spinning around Floating in Shadows arms above the ground But you’ve delayed too long you’re out if time Shadows fading you’re in your dreaming time But there’ll be another chance another night For you to dance with Shadow in moonlight Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning [This message has been edited by Marsha (edited 02-25-2001).] |

I love that first stanza Marsha..well done ~Wynter (I guess it was an old challenge but it was worth doing again) "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II |

Wonderful response to the challenge. When you set your mind to writing a good one you never fail. Great take on the words that have shown many sides of many poets. |
