Lullaby


Here in this still of the night
Where we lose our dreams
As those dreams yield a nightmare

     Where I am drowning
     In my poetess' crying eyes
     Will still be searching for you
     In your (favorite) place to hide

The final chapter to shelter(you)
From the fury of this callous nite
The struggle within and outside
The aeon of those sleepless nights
Has finally come to an end
             ... to an end

    How do I tell you the sun won't shine
    It will mourn behind the clouds with no silver line

How do I tell you the moon won't rise
But awake, it will witness the birth of its child

    And as a boy points to the crying sky
    We are still awake in this night
    that is trying to find some light


The holy season of my life
You changed my dreams
You shaped my heart
As I suddenly held my heaven

    But the sun has escaped into the night
    And my winters have turned so dry
    As I stand here to lose everything
                      ...that was mine


You try to ease this last goodbye
You touch my face
With hands divine
But these scars you leave forever...

    Your touch it is not to remain
    Coz it's your time to go away
    But we will be together
        ...somewhere better
