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 wakingdream 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? Inbetween 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.

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
