Lonely sleep



Oh the night is dark again asking me to sleep.
In the wooden casket with my soul alone
And no one speaking around.

I can feel the ground.
I can feel the void as my eyes look through the abyss of muted thoughts and in this lull my breath alone is the sound profound.

Not those dreams again, keep it blank.
let me sleep in peace.
Neither angels nor devils that I need by my side.I just need a coracle keeping me afloat  and helps me cross the tide.

I will meet you again on the other side
Once the night passes by, keep the mirrors clean, so I can meet you again tomorrow with a shinning smile.

We will face the sun , we will dance around
and we both will have lot of fun,
we will have great day, believe me!
just let the darkness go by.
