Midnight Trance
What is this strange euphoria,
When the moon shines bright into the silent night
While the world is deep in slumber?
Illuminating the reverent bliss
Of shadows in the valley,
Glaciers on the mountain peaks,
The earth is falling fast asleep
Although the planet dreams away
I sit here staring into the sky,
Quite awake as the wind calls to me
"Sleep my child
come and rest
for morning awaits on the horizon"
So why don't I drift?
What stops the flitting wings of dreams to come
From catching me up in their lofty flight?
The waves are still,
The creatures lie in a hypnotic trance
Until the gleaming call of sunlight
Sneaks into the forest,
But still I wonder what causes this?
This joyfyul ease bistowed on me,
My dreamlike stance
I take upon myself,
Until I slowly fade away
Off into the night...
