Even If Silence Is Deeper Than Night
Flash the last joyful smile
and whisper goodnight,
never surrender to the insidious darkness,
only to the silver moonlight
that allows one to dream much longer:
no, daybreak will not rise yet if stars
refuse to retreat and still shine...
hold your dearest one for another hour!
The visions you'll dream are brief and deluding,
not all dreams are beautiful, the sudden awakening
can be so crude, and the longer it lingers,
the more it'll make you wonder if one of them lasts!
Should they persist: they will surely thrill and delight,
never wake up while dreaming, avoid their blight!
If flowing tears quickly drip from your cheeks,
I'll be wiping them with my tender kiss!
Will you be trembling and afraid
to go to sleep as your night arrives?
No, shut those eyes and dream on...
your visions are realistic, although they're sad;
will they be too different in shapes and colors?
Hold your teary pillow and envision
the one stretching his loving hand to offer kindness,
taking you to another universe that lies in subtle stillness;
and in that universe, there will be more star-struck hearts
being charmed by the loveliness of the constellations,
and by the soothing serenity not found anywhere...
even if silence is deeper than night and shadows are too rare!
