PHANTOM, by                    
First Line: Last night when the moon was free
Last Line: Beneath the pale moonglow of night.
Subject(s): Ghosts; Night; Supernatural; Bedtime


Last night when the moon was free
I sent a breeze as messenger
To brush a kiss across your lips.
Did you turn your head, alert
Because it ruffled up your hair
So like my fingers, light as air?
Did you close your eyes to dream
And hear the rustle of the leaves?
It was my echo, whispering
My heart, my soul, belong to you!
And always, when the moon hangs low
Should you but pause and wish for me
You will feel my presence near,
Lingering in every shadow
Beneath the pale moonglow of night.
