Playing In The Dark Beside The Full Moon

it is dark,
the full moon arrives
hovering upon the marshes
the waters become one
golden sheen rippling as the
shadows of birds
lay on the floating lilies

a wooden hushes
it is wading as
the young man paddles silently
on the water
the woman below him
sings a beautiful love song

it is time to play.
it is dark and the moon is full tonight.
