Dancing in The Moonlight


 

The melody sways softly

And it’s like everything else goes silent.

My breathing slows and I am grateful for this peaceful getaway.

I hear nothing but beauty, see nothing but Clair De Lune.


Then the beat kicks in, 

Suddenly I’m singing along and 

“we’re dancing in the moonlight 

Everybody's feelin' warm and bright

It's such a fine and natural sight.”


But before I could go on

a man with the bluest eyes and a fedora 

Sweeps me off my feet.

Jazz plays in the background.

If there is such a thing as a handsome voice 

He’s got  it

And with it, he asks me to fly him to the moon. 


I close my eyes for a second

Just to imagine the thought of flying.

When I open them I’m...

In Miami

My hair is loose and my feet bare

I get lost in the rhythm of Señorita 

under the sapphire moonlight.

<p>I&#39;m not really sure where I was going with this. It&#39;s kind of a mixture of my favorite songs and how they make me feel while I listen to them as well as the beauty of the moon. Turns out I like alot of songs that have the word moon in it. The name of each song and some of the lyrics are incorporated in the stanzas.</p>
