Nocturnal

Through a glazed nightfall shimmering on meadows
Gold rays, moontones, widescreen-to-sky entices
When stars bloom freely on southern hour, find me
Tracing dusk's lattice


Catch the mist aflight before the glow withers
While basin of light reaches its finale,
Then my skin will begin to memorize
One nocturnal trail
