I wandered through the endless night
In silence where time hides its light
The stars, old friends, so wise and true
Whispered secrets the wind blew through

A sea of shadows, longing deep
Where past and solitude would sweep
Each step a verse, a gentle rhyme
Each verse a prayer, a fleeting chime

I thought of love, so far, so rare
Like rivers flowing, always there
In your gaze, the world turned bright
The night less dark, bathed in your light

But life’s a breath, a fleeting spark
The path dissolves into the dark
Here I stand, ‘twixt dreams and lore
Hoping for one encounter more
