Drifting On a Moonlit Night

Drifting on a moonlit night
                  My mind and I lay peacefully
The pearl filled sky still shimmers so
           With sands of sleep for me to see

Serenity of thought prevails
                     My eyes aflutter into sleep
As memory again regales
              A treasure trove for me to keep

Drifting on a moonlit night
                    As close to you as I can be
For in this giddy dreamlike state
                    Your face I will forever see

On nights like this, the world is still 
     And smiles that only elsewhere shine
Can yet illuminate in love
                To linger in this heart of mine
