The Moon Has Lost Its Light

I walk alone



among the midnight lilies



along the garden path,



my heart heavy



with each 



whippoorwill's cry



echoing



in night's starless sea.



I miss you tonight



my love, my heart,



without you here



to share my dreams



the moon has lost its light.



I long for your gentle voice



as the breeze slips



through my hair,



silence keeps me company



and disquiet fills my soul.



Where will daybreak



find me



if not



in your sheltering arms?
