MOONLIGHT
Open your windows Dearest
Bare your face to the moonlight
Let us watch fair Artemis
With all the splendour of the night

The bright stars welcome her presence
Like gentle flowers strewn on the path
She meanders, filling the earth with her scent
Calming restless Poseidon of his wrath

She glides along the silent skies
With a smile on her ancient lips
Abounding of beauty that never dies
With watchful eyes that never sleeps

Her light mirrors the splashing waves
As she brightens the water beneath
And the shores show the hidden caves
Where mermaids and men agree to meet

But then you turn away, my heart
And all is suddenly in darkness
As Artemis herself began to part
Cloaking her flight with sadness

Oh, the Moon is fickle, Dearest
She has come to spirit you away
And I hide behind closed eyes, lest
She finds my pain on different ways
