Tonight the stars shine brightly

And moonlight casts a glimmer in your eyes

And the wind brushes your hair from your face

And we are suspended here in time,

I hold you tightly as we sway

To the music of our lives,

The beat, beat, beating of our hearts,

Echoing like a drum.

~

The time is ripe,

And after all of these years

After all the joys and pain

After this journey we've traveled,

All of it coming together

In a sudden bursting of life

Here at the end.

It's like when we began,

Holding each other's hands

Taking each step

Breathing each breath

Marking our days by the love we've made.

~

Your eyes sparkle in moonlight

Your soft white hair

Flutters in the wind.

Your delicate and wrinkled fingers

Still intertwine with mine.

And here we are on the balcony

Dancing to the moonlight,

Once again,

Maybe for the last time.
