Under Midnight's Spell

it is when midnight covers me
the blanket, the silence, in the warmth
i belong, where the world is still
in the hope, the will of tomorrow
beckoning me toward, the embers in twilight remain
close to my heart, those in the shadows do stir
the thoughts, the memories, a laughter in your eyes
where truth seemed lost, but love was never denied
as we fell together, colliding with the youth
of another day, inside the world, our pain had gone away
the morning spoke to me, to you, i heard forever
whispering a truth, that i never wanted to leave
not far behind me, as we danced, beneath the sheets
through the weeks, and day out loud
i heard you speak, and then you were no where to be found
for the day had gone away, the weeks grew tired
the months had passed away, from me, from you
the colors faded to grays, that danced with the moonlight
tonight, close to midnight, our hearts apart, far from the world
that we once knew, in a world, now bereft of a truth
speaking to me now, in calm, in doubt, i see the world more clearly
when the light had been blown out, gone, in the memory
the laughter, the way you danced in the song
that only my heart could sing
it is midnight now, and the silence beckons me near
urges me on, onward, closer, toward tomorrow's uncertain dawn
