Dancing in the Moonlight

The moon, her partner

and stars, the twinkling audience.

She spins and twirls

to the sound of winds,

heart racing,

to freedom’s adventure.

yes, tonight she dances,

beyond the grasp of captors

and far beyond the sight

of those who dare not dream.

Tonight she dances free,

to walk in fields

of favourite flowers,

free to chase the fireflies

and fly in highest skies,

for her soul’s unbound

and free from earthly restraint.
