Nocturne Eternal


Lay darkly, silently
Ponder not the jagged edge
Turn softly those thoughts against
The way that haunts

Untangle those long bleak nights
Nights of amaranthine naught
Be not sedate of vigilance
In thy pensive thoughts

Embrace the howling wind
It covers the cries
Seek not light to dash out the dark
For there do shadows drown

Fear not the creatures of the night
Become the eyes of the mouse
Divine the ears of the bat
Assume the valor of the owl

Embrace the night, caress the earth
Wake not in fear
But lay forever entwined
With sweet nocturne eternal
