Breathe

When the night claims you like a wayward leaf of old
And it takes you to the caves where anything turns gold
You don't ask any questions and you don't dare breathe
You just follow her, like a light weight tumble weed

Down the passages of dark, down the staircase of rune
Every step a little deeper than the crevices of the moon
You can almost taste the air, on your tongue clepe
You can down the stairs of heaven in one single leap

Taking you by the waist it shall dance through you
The elixir of happiness when you're feeling down n' blue
You just thank the Lord for the magic of this gift
All you need is skin n' eyes to cross her lowly rift

When night claims you like a wayward leaf
And takes you to her caves, all etched with gold
Don't ask her any questions just go ahead and breathe
No, don't ask her anything at all, just breathe
Yes breathe

Down the passages of dark, down the staircase of rune
There is a secret mystery your mind will consume
As you dance in the twilight, where her gold is found
Each breath taken comes like a mist on sacred ground

Taking you by the waist it shall dance through you
Lead you to places where darkened skies turn blue
And soak your eyes with dazzling wondrous worlds
As it claims your breath as your night unfurls

When the night claims you like a wayward leaf of old
And lifts you with breezes through spaces untold
It will fill you with life through this night of consent
As you taste each sensation that heaven has sent

Bend to the mystery that comes with each step
And honor with silence all the caves you accept
Don't ask any questions just go ahead and breathe
No, don't ask her anything at all,just breathe
Yes breathe

I think Mystic's poem is so beautiful and you faithfully followed through with an equally beautiful echo to her stanzas! I bet she puts this on her winners' list. I sure hope I can make the time to try this.
