Das Lied Fur Alma - With Apologies To Gustav Mahler

Dark music floods my chamber 
Like a slowly rising tide 
That laps against the silence
Where my fondest dreams reside. 
 
Dark music bathes the morning
With its languid, liquid tune,
Conundrum-like concerto,
Every note a cryptic rune.
 
Dark music wakes me gently
From the warm embrace of sleep
And sings to me of treasures
I can have, but never keep.
