'Shall we love again'

Shall we love again,

Where the moonlight falls

On paths to the shore,

As the sea sweeps through time

And we are there,

Beyond the hidden hills

As masted ships sail,

Onwards to other places

We can listen to the night,

Where the wind shifts in the breeze

A different kind of music,

That only we can hear

Will it be so,

In the eternal transit of stars

That lit our skies,

Before they fade and die

Will all our wearied world remember us,

Those eager tides that washed our footsteps

From the moonlit shores,

Where once we loved
