Transcript of Clair de Lune
Clair de Lune – by Antonio Hernandez
There is a sliver in the calm of a restless night which narrowly unveils a celestial string which tethers my heart to yours. It spins the memory of words unspoken and whispers of tender messages -‐ so gentile I thought them to be... an idea. Under the light of the moon I dreamt I danced on paved hills, your image in the night sky a constellation -‐ this was my first dream of you -‐ a gentile serenade... calling me home. Many nights have since passed and I look for your star in the sky -‐ wondering if you hear my call, wondering if you know I stand alone looking upward to the West ... searching for you. In the calm of a restless night thoughts and memories dance a waking-‐dream of which in the twilight of my life I sit with you in your humble abode and we talk the time away, the memory of your beautiful hands washing lettuce as the water caresses your blessing way -‐ I loose my breath. How could I have loved you before and beyond the time we have or had on earth? Why do I remember you in my last living moments that have yet to be? In-‐between life and the hereafter there is a sliver in the calm of a restless night in which there is only ...you and I... talking the time away in silence and we are completely comforted and completely undone. My love for you is a wondrous leap of faith...for to hold you in my heart is to expand to vapor and air, with no hands to reach out, with no arms to embrace -‐ simply spirits left to blend, merge and intertwine like a perfect metaphor -‐ so true and prophetic it changes the world.
In the sliver of a clam and restless night there is a precious memory I guard and hold dearly, the memory of quivered velvet kisses, salted by tender tears warmed by your skin and savored by my mouth as I inhale the touch of your moist lashes on mine...a living memory that became song. In the twilight hours I waltz with a dream and a yearning for you that will resonate with me for eternity. I will lovingly wear this dream like a soft glow of angels wings -‐ awaiting the next restless night -‐ when we embrace in heaven -‐ where it all began. Never distant... I to you and you to me. The touch of your face, the kisses on your eyelids, vulnerable confessions made huddled beneath the sheets of intimacy and moonlight, the crisp night air, the flowers, feathers, sea shells and stones you collected for me, how lost I get in your eyes, and how my every being comes undone when I see your smile. Your serenade -‐ a precious consciousness that remains beyond me and beyond the sliver of a clam restless night. You are my “Clair de Lune." Clair de Lune – by Antonio Hernandez
