When I Bid Farewell To The Moon
I say farewell to the moon
As it comes time for me to rest
Clear my mind of all worries
Try not to remember anything
Falling… falling… falling
Into the deepest sleep
I am once again awaken
By the sound of a babies cry
This gentle sound soothes me
But worries me also
I struggle out of bed
Open the window and listen
The temptation overcomes me
And I jump
Begin to run with the wind
Away from the buildings
Across the roads
Past the forest
Over the river
The baby lets out one more screech
Saying my name
Save me…
Save me…
Down to the ground I go
Tears rolling down
Voices all around me
I gaze up at the night sky
And watch it change colors
Here I am
Here is my destination
I absorb my surroundings
Step by step
Moving closer
The cry comes to hault
Time freezes
The earth stops moving
Here I am to come across
A soft grassy field
With nothing in sight
But an enormous tree
With sparkling leaves
And twinkling branches
Closer and closer
I know I am forbiden
Forbiden to continue
But closer and closer I go
A shadow runs
Time unfreezes
The earth begins to spin again
My blood turns cold
I begin to dash
As fast as I can
Over the river
Past the forest
Across the roads
Into the buildings
Climb through the window
And back to rest
Again to start a new night
When I bid farewell to the moon
