Once Upon a Lockdown Night

Stars shining bright and gleaming moonlight Shimmer o’er a silent lockdown night Precious moments shared by you and me Dispel thoughts of earth’s tragedy. I heard birds cooing in the tree tops They coo because the night’s made for love Warm is the night, a gentle breeze blows Lost are we as day comes to a close. Holding on to each other tightly Fingers tracing o'er contours lightly Higher than the farthest star we zoomed Hearts bursting forth like unfurling blooms. We heard angels serenade on harps A taste of heaven deep in our hearts Far, far away looking down on earth Magic was made in the universe. We said goodnight with hugs and kisses Stars were fading as moon diminished Morning crept in as we dreamt sweet dreams Till woken by radiant sunbeams. We'd found the place where dreams do come true And that is a paradise for two Looking forward to freedom, and yet Those magic moments we'll not forget.
