We Danced

We danced, on a starlit night Under the green canopy of the Elms, And the full moon rising off in the east. We danced to the music of the night To Doves, and Mockingbirds, and crickets Gently entoning their precious songs. We danced to the beat of a million leaves Rustling high above in the elms and the oak And the tambourine of the ebony's pods. We danced to the wind instruments of heaven The southerly wind blowing gently Through and around branches and leaves. We danced lost in sweet oblivian to all And to everything pursuant to the dawn We danced, lost in each others arms. And the night reached out and embraced us And the full moon smiled down on us The stars winked at us, and we danced. 4/27/14 Alton Texas
