Ballad in the Night

It was a starry, solemn evening

and the moon was so enchanting.

There a fair maiden was sitting -

can't keep herself from wondering...


"Could he been looking at that star?"

she sighed and looked with dreamy eyes.

"Oh my! It was a shooting star!"

the star that also caught his eyes.


"Could he been thinking of me too?"

she smiled with her eyes filled with glow.

"Then let me whisper this to you -"

she kissed the wind and off it blew...


"Could he been dreaming of me too -"

then she mused a minute or two.

"with dreams that'll bridge the distance between us ?"

she beamed and let silence swallow her doubts...



Across the miles, away from his beloved,

at a river bank sat a lovestruck lad.

He fixed his eyes at the masterpiece above

like a spellbound lover trapped in the world of love.


"Such a beauty so precious and rare!"

he exclaimed, then trickled down a tear so clear.

"How I wish for your presence here beside me,

to fill this emptiness within me."


Then he looked down on the cool, clear water

amazed to see his beloved's image there.

"My love for you will last forever!"

It was a vow he made with a silent prayer.


Once again he looked up above

and thought of his beloved as fair as a dove.

The stars blinked at him, followed the cold, evening breeze.

Reminding him it's time to go home and rest.


Great may be the distance between the two of them.

Too many obstacles and the journey may seem dim.

Still the mystery of love was divulged now and then...

Because in that same night, they're looking AT THE SAME HEAVEN...
