Day is ending in this magical place We sit there side by side on the soft grass As the last colors of the sunset fade away into the deep blue of night Darkness slowly creeps up on us But we are not afraid of the dark In fact that is exactly what we are waiting so patiently for The silver white light of the moon begins to shine softly upon us It's pure light giving everything a beautiful glow Myriads of stars shine brightly above our heads The full moon's glow makes it nearly as bright as day But we know better, we are creatures born of the night Shadows dance playfully about us Their soft voices calling for us to join them We easily give in to them and our bodies begin to move Dancing to a beat so ancient and entrancing Our feet must move across the soft grasses Winds conduct this most ancient orchestra Leading the leaves to play the one song most prized The rustling beat so soft and smooth We must be silent or we cannot hear it's glorious sound Sweet smelling grasses flow gently below our bare feet Then the ancient lyrics begin to be heard The voices of all the insects and animals sing in the tongues of the ancients We do not understand their words but the meaning is clear The voice of the wind sings the loudest above our heads And the earth hums softly below us The message is loud and clear in our ears "You are forgiven, now dance freely!" It plays forever on the winds that surround us And is imprinted into our eternal memory It's power ringing on for an eternity This single phrase now spoken The life long curse is broken So now we dance forever Bathed in the moon's silver light
(rereading this poem I have found that it can have so many more meanings than the original one)
