A Moonlight Vigil of Love

As the moonlight
Shines through the window
A certain reverence envelopes me
As I gaze upon your sleeping form
This for me my nightly vigil
Which for me is my nighttime norm

Worshipping you in reverent silence
Caressing you with my eyes
Wanting to caress you with my touch
Wanting to hear your sighs
And wanting you to know
That I love you so very much

But rather than touch and wake you
Not wanting to disturb your sleep
I continue to caress you with my eyes
While gazing upon your sleeping form
Under the light of the moon
As it shines through the window
