Curtains of chiffon and silk.

Roses in bloom, glasses clink.

Crystals dangling from their

Wrought iron branches.

And the band, begins to play.

One by one the couples line up

Curtsy and the dance begins.

There’s laughter heard

Amongst the gentlemen.

The ladies prattle amongst themselves

But his eyes are still searching.

Then all at once his roving eye stops

For there at the head of the stairs, she stands

Amidst the crowds gasps and awe

Light descends the stairs

To greet her father, with a kiss.

Darkness’ heart trembles.

After having mingled with the guests

And danced with the boys

She heads to the balcony

Their eyes meet as he waits for her

In a swift, she’s with him

His hand around her waist.

As they dance beneath

Cloudless climes and starry skies.

The moon, their only witness.

Love entwined them both.

And all shall remember that night

When Darkness met Light.
