The long day wanes, and so it goes,

  the red dusk past, the silence looms,

  beneath an ephemeral glow,

  a gentle moonlit dream here blooms

  Here, the heavenly skies are bare,

  near waters on a starless night,

  the moon and hope glows bright and fair,

  some truth of otherworldly light

  The seastar rises from the earth,

  the nightbird now looks on and sings,

  at dream and truth's glimmering birth,

  a song to pull at the heartstrings

  A timely radiance brings relief

  though we're divided by the skies,

  I see a light beyond belief,

  glimmering within your eyes.

  Across the restless waves I go

  From the shadow, into the air

  and one day, 'neath that silver glow,

  you will then wake to find me there.
