Softly, softly, the night descends upon the skY

**Softly, softly, the night descends upon the sky,
Gently, gently, the moon comes to sit nearby,
Whispering songs into my ears.**

**One by one, the stars begin to glow,
My restless heart runs far, where, I don’t know,
I reach out my hands towards the sky.**

**The night grows deeper within my soul,
Its pull runs through every vein and whole.
I don’t know why sleep evades my eyes,
I sit and wait, but for what, I can’t surmise.**

**Softly, softly, the night calls to me,
The moon beckons with its mystery.
I long to merge with the vast, open sky,
And the sky reaches out to touch me, oh why?
I don’t know why sleep evades my eyes,
And the night just slips away like sighs.**

**My heart murmurs, it speaks so low,
Restless poems come and go.
They vanish into the ether unknown.
The leaves of trees rustle, soft and light,
A shiver runs through my mind at night,
And I drift, drift far into the unknown.**
