A black raven soars up high,
Bringing hope across the sky.
It sees the world with shining eyes,
And whispers dreams that never die.

A darker crow, with doubts so deep,
Believes that darkness is all to keep.
But the other flies on, free and bright,
Reminding us of love’s true light.

One sees the night, the other the day,
Together they carry hope on their way.
Even dark and wise ravens teach us how,
To see the world with open hearts now.

Serene City Nights

At the top of the building, yet inside
From my window, the view never fades away

The city's night beauty keeps me enchanted
In the stillness I find my peace

Emotions flood
In this peaceful refuge
My thoughts take the lead
And my heart follows with speed

When the city is asleep,
I find my inner calm
In the silence, my soul sings

The glimmer in your eye
          doesn’t shine the way I remember.
There’s still kindness in your gaze,
          but it feels hollow.
Your eyes look worn,
          like you haven’t slept in years.
Do you even remember
          who you are?
Still I give you the coffee
          that you might love more than me.
So I can sleep next to you
          while you stay up at night.

in the serenity of the night
Peace
At last

Men are sleeping
Cats, exploring
Mice seek their sustenance, as men will do at dawn

Insomnia,
Those awake enjoy
The peace
Of the night

I will go to sleep tonight,
A little less lonely,
Yet still lonesome.
For my arms are empty,
They're used to holding you,
Wondering what you're dreaming of,
I dream of falling asleep with you.

Every night when the winds are hushed,
I whisper,
"Are you listening to the night?"

Every time I whisper,
I hear you whisper back,
"Are you listening to me?"

I'm so sorry,
Let me listen more,
I'd seal my mouth away for you.

Genie, genie please,
How can I be better,
Do better things?

How may I make you happier,
I thought I was doing an alright job,
But let me do more,

I think you'll like it better.

"Why do you treat me right?
talking late in the night
staring in your pretty eyes
you're so pretty, that I might
might pull up a fight
the stars above shine oh so bright
yet, I only see you far in sight
why?"
