Midnight Flames

The moon has risen
and the sun has set
but I could still feel
the sun’s hot rays
Kissing my skin and warming my soul

Deep in the shadows under the moonlight
in the darkest of forests
I could still see the sun’s aura at sunset
and feel its warmth
wrapped around me
inside the forest’s cold mists

As I close my light
and set myself to sleep
in the moon’s glorious light
I dream of the sun’s heat caressing my skin
it’s magnificent light painting my way
in the blackest skies
and I see someone’s shadow
waiting . . .
for me.
