Light as a Thousand Stars

The moon watches her dance,
quiet as a secret held
in his arms,
as they step into the warm pulse
of a summer night,
in the river light
along the Seine.

The wind brushing in strokes,
his hands painting with silky touch.
His breath on her skin
murmuring je t’aime.

They write a poem
in movement.

The music wraps
its shadow softly
around two dancers,
carrying them
until their legs swirl
across the shining stones.

They touch them slowly,
one by one.
Each tap
a small drum of longing
deep, dark,
heavy as their hearts,
rupturing in sweet ache,

light as a thousand stars,
drifting
into a dream,
into the opening sky
