Daughter of the night

December 27, 2002

I see the stars resting adjacent to my dreams

Floating in the distance they will never be

I see the mountains standing tall in this blanket of night

Thick and black dotted by beautiful flaming ornaments

I see the rain falling like the tears from everyones eyes

The tears caused by pain, torment, and madness

I see the grass in the night swaying with the wind

They go at a steady beat my skin presses against them as I walk

I see what no one else can and no one else chooses to

What no one wants to believe is there

I see what I cant explain to anyone else

Something so secret it isnt invisible to me

I hear the words of the night as they sing a silent note

The words are so beautiful but I dont know what they mean

I hear the raindrops hit the ground at such a rhythm

They set the song of the night, the song of the darkness

I hear the wind blow a lullaby that puts me to sleep

This wind that rushes down and picks up my emotion

 I hear the cries of others that have been brought to me

The night time wind sweeps them up and carries them to me

I hear what no one else can and no one else chooses to

What no one wants to hear in the dark, dark night

I hear what no one can fathom or explain

Something so silent that is sings to me loud and clear

I feel the Dance in the night that comforts my sadness

The dance that fills my body with freedom

I feel this force lifting me up to the dark speckled blanket

It calms my nerves as I dance the midnight dance

I feel the swiftness of the wind that takes my breath away

The wind that supports my body off the dirty wet ground

I feel the moist drops fly past my body full of motion

The drops that form puddles in the ground below me

I feel what no one else can and no one else chooses to

The dance of the night that takes me away

I feel what no one wants to believe the night can hold

The beauty of the darkness that is there for only me

All that I have loved and all that I am or have been

The only thing that keeps me alive is this midnight splendor

The midnight beauty, the midnight song, the midnight dance

It changes my whole perspective on life and fixes every flaw

My only wish is that one day I may join the downward dance forever

I want to be the wind, the rain, and the darkness in the night

The night will be mine to rule and love like my own

One day it will be my environment, my only companion

The beauty in the night this will be my passion

Every night you can dance and sing with that beauty

That beauty that everyone will love once they feel it

They will actually love me, the daughter of the night
