In the Silent Night
-
Faint whispers in the dark
Slipping away ever so quietly
Under the twinkle of stars
Moving ever so silently
-
Night is this blackened veil
Embracing the slumbering world
Oblivious, nothing to reveal
Yet, to the quivering light I hold
Closer to my heart forever more
A gentle prayer I weave
Words into the silent night
Drifting when I turn to leave
-
So, perhaps one day
Wandering the edge of time
You shall find
Remnants of that shivering light
Those everlasting words left behind
My prayer to you
Someday
In the silent night
