Down To Sleep

Beside my window pane~
I see your shimmering silhouette 
with the shades of nocturnal jewels
dancing in the moonlight.

I run to chase the neon lights~
midst the silence of the winter eve;
I found myself wrapped in your arms
And I no longer walk in the cold.

And as the moon begins to fade~
I hear you whisper to the west wind
and you start to sing me lullaby 
as you lay me down to sleep.
