'Tis the Night

Sitting under this star-mapped sky the breeze shares with me a word;
I am told that time expands beyond the clouds, and love’s absurdity
Should not be bound by a limited imagination; nay, for a true heart
Knows that it can be led home even in dark hours with miles apart.

I have set this scene based on the syllables of the season’s charm,
For in beach-based dreams I seen it first with you resting in my arms;
Oh, in moments few, I am sure miracles will occur, for it’ll be you
That stumbles with a silly step, becoming closer to this ocean-view.

Who is to say that we must remain consistently distant in disarray,
With only lonely letters to cherish as we are left with tear-stains?
Aha, for we are players on a stage of our dreams, but let us not act;
Let us live with a tinge of obscurity as our wishes now become fact.

Aye, for if our related hopes and aspirations cannot be held in hand,
Then in castles with Heaven's foundation protecting souls in sand
Will they be, as memories are washed anew with the evening tide;
Oh, ‘cause hope won’t have to last forever, for you’ll be at my side…

A'top the Summer waves rests beauty once untold,
As the reflective galleries of her artful shine unfold
Bright before the brave eyes longing to stare forever;
For 'tis the night to rejoice, as aching hearts recover.
