" THE WAY YOU MOVED THROUGH NIGHT "

In all the world there is no one who can console me, except you
I think of you and recall distant places, and the way you moved through night
The way you touched moonbeams, and the way they touched you back
The echo's of the innocence, we ran, and danced, and laughed
We represented galaxies, like those we revered on star maps
Of those lost and lovely reflections we swam for, laying upon blue rocks
In the middle of the moon reflecting waters, where we first spied ourselves
Nakedly bathing in our youthful arrogance, and longing for the summer comets
It was more than magic then, the way Love worked in our lives
More than magic when we first kissed, through peril and timelessness
It was as though the heavens, were singing through our yearning
And little drops of moonlight, were blessing our coming journey
The reason I can recall these moments, of you, and me, then us
Is the way you moved through night, an apparition's rendition of things to come
It's that youthful ghost of you I can recall, never asking me to run
Just gently leading me into a nighttime Nirvana jam
Spinning through the mysticism, and happiness of it all
Yes, it was all intertwined, the danger, and the pleasure of it
Still breaks me down inside, I can still taste the pleasure of it
The way you moved through night, just as you do right now
Within the swirling of the tree tops, the moon drops on your brow
It never occurred to me, that you were not celestial light
For I remain hypnotized, watching and recalling
The way you moved through night....
