Last lullaby

I found a song in a lover

yet a lover is a spelling mistake

I found a heartbeat in the whispers of a child

Yet silence engulfs my very essence

like a rose beyond time the song rises

like a hope beyond mine the silent soldier returns

is beauty a dream or is love a wish

is it all just like an illusion

a squeal from a crying child

listen not to the wind for it carries my burdens

listen not to the trees

not to the sand

listen not to the sky

for my tears soar as rain

for my cries go unnoticed

listen not to the silence of the night

for my silence will be my last

my gaze will dim

as that of a shooting star
