Tonight's Shadows

Black, glittering curtains covered the sky Gently, the candle's eye closed Night's noble steed crosses blistering deserts To deliver its message to the sky's Queen "My Beloved Queen: Thee sky shall have no light for twelve hours for thy sun shall go o'er the mountains and into its bed it shall rest. But, I shall not leave thou with no guide for I shall have lanterns across thee sky. Wind shall hum a sweet song to end today. By the next morning, Jasmine and Anais shall spray delightful odors to spread smiles across people's sleeping faces. Oh Beloved Queen, thou shall rest tonight too as the stars stand to guard tonight's sky." Shadows danced beautifully in a parade Shadows waved goodbye to the day's light Stars began to appear across the sky The Queen blew a kiss...."Goodnight My Dears"
