Tales In The Night

Cascade of dreams, midnight parade of stars
Waterfalls sparkling in moonlit scars

Beneath the trees lies a fallen dream
Caressed by a child’s heart and fireflies
Eternal fear, deepest awe, old tales in thrill
To hide poet’s tears in ocean’s eyes

Face of the moon hides a dream I bear inside
Lost thoughts of dawn and sundown locked deep in mind

In the end of the tale
All the good will prevail
Among the shadows of lies
In the horizon I see a shelter of paradise

Flying high with a kite
I caress the sky with a lullaby
Now lost deep in time

Deeper than a moment of first meet
Scared too much to weep
A poet’s hand forever caress a dream
With care of moon guarding child’s sleep

My home is far, but I feel it within
Bearing dreams in heart
I still hide deep in your dream

Seek me and find in the dark
Of lost moments in withering night
Tales for the last midnight lullaby
