The Ember Eyes
 
The moon sings
Whispers in the wind
Away to the night
Down to dreams
Where they shall dance
When the world is quiet
Laid to slumber
Greatly beaming radiant light
Wild fires burn
Spreading colors to the sky
Marking such paintings
For none but few to see
Wild ember eyes
Gazing into such fires
Held true to desire
Burning away candles
As hands held together
Gently swaying back and forth
Within the midnights glory
Singing so softly
The whispers in the wind
Back to the moon
Resting peaceful
Forever into eternity
The ember eyes
One of passion
The other of desire
Burned into the stars
Forever watching
The peaceful calm
Held in loving arms
