Strangers dancing in the dark

Dark as midnight’s moon

Moon with light shining down to the strangers below

Below, where they sway to the music’s tune


Strangers dancing beneath the stars

Stars shine also in their eyes

Eyes that know each other not

Not to shame, however, they dance ‘till the moonlight dies


Strangers dancing under the willows

Willows tall and beautiful

Beautiful as the strangers dancing 

Dancing, hand in hand, on a night so wonderful


Strangers dancing as nightingales sing 

Sing a ballad to the people down below

Below, in the grass where no one is around

Around to hear the melodies grow


Strangers dancing ‘till the sun sadly rises

Rises to end their beautiful dancing

Dancing in the moonlight

Moonlight so enchanting


Strangers dancing as love surrounds

Surrounds them completely and binds

Binds them together, together as one

One night beneath the moon, they dance together, blind


Strangers dancing in the dark

Dark is bright as day

Day that brings a new beginning 

Beginning of a new night, the strangers sway


The author's comments:

I write most of my poetry at night, and this piece was sort of just a formulation of my thoughts at the time. I visualized a scene beneath the beautiful moon and I started writing. Nighttime is always the best time to write!
