Nocturnes Wake

Whispering winds in nighttime glow
Sleepless nocturnes until rooster’s crow
Mountain streams to the  rivers flow
Around the moon my memories blow

In the silence shadows move
In the darkness specters love
Voices calling from the past
Moments fading too sweet to last

Promises float like butterflies
Pretty pictures full of lies
Death creeps inside the door
Sadness stays for evermore
