hiding behind trees at the lake
leaves falling in full moon light
trading all we had for something new
moonbeams glistening like diamonds
sparkling dreams on rippling water
over pebbles straight to the ocean
night birds call, gliding, ascending
around the corner where the river is bending
down the timeless banks of change
where sleeplessness awaits
searching for a friend
to see me through
the darkest of nights
but I am lost in rock formation
blades of grass bent by howling winds
sparkling iridescent in shallow light
I know I won't be staying here
living on my hopes and prayers
just another line
as my watch clicks the minutes by
I'll know when my time has come
to get what's mine
to give the truth
