Tonight

Tonight 

It's a lovely night dark and dense 

Giving me every reason to smile and sleep 

Tranquility residing in my deepest deep 

I've kept all the promises I made to me 

 

Tonight

I'm still going strongly on with life 

Keeping faith and hopes within my crevice

Those dusky scars that I can see inside 

Are the roads I dared to travel alone and ventured 

 

Tonight

Defeating every grey and black monster 

Killing by far single handedly every evil being 

Giving myself peace and loads of serenity 

A spiritual uplift now I can deeply feel 

 

Tonight 

Sudden calm from the cyclic madness that went around 

Few goodevil frenenemies declared extinct and almost dead 

Keeping all distances from a life of dredgery 

Almost to my destination that I can now clearly see 

 

Tonight 

Holding hands of my God almighty I can make it easily 

A divine will, ordained to be in my favour till eternity 

I sleep in the lap of goodness and mercy 

Untill dawn spreads it's beautiful wings around me finally

Today I gaze into a restful night
one that brings another
moonlight dream of life
a new dawn takes me far far away
from the darkness of death.
