I walk alone in the long, silent midnight hour. Somewhere distant a lonely whippoorwill calls. She too is longing, needing, and weeping softly. I whisper, yet I hear the echo of my voice in the valley.
Calling you, bidding you to walk to me on silent feet. Even my dreams know you are my vision of yesterday. Misplaced along life's path, yet living throughout infinity. Bring to me your moon glow, light my darkened forest with a smile.
How vivid once was, now is in sleep, your thoughts, the scent of your hair. Once more I claim what once was mine, listen to your words and song. For these moments our love is timeless, even knowing you can't remain. It's only a dream, burned off as a vapor when the morning sun awakens.
