[This week’s song selection is Evan McHugh’s “Serenade the Moon”, available from the Spotify playlist “Your Favorite Coffeehouse”:]
Hated to see her sad,
tears to match the rain.
No help could he offer her
oftentimes, only wait
for a smile to part the clouds:
eyes alight with warmth of inner sun.
Took her hand, gave a squeeze,
reminded her of his presence
– always by her side –
and strolled through streets
upon streets of emotion,
waiting for that single moment
of change. Return of the girl
he fell in love with.
Only left a shadow most times,
hiding behind curtained eyes,
lashes cliffs cascading liquid
of a heart breaking for a reason
he would never be able to fathom.
She’d admitted to him once
that there were moments when
even she didn’t know why.
But when she reappeared,
goddess of his soul,
there were no questions left
– always by her side –
his love would never change.
