Empty Night


What peace, what peace shall I rest in this night?
What thoughts shall my soul fear?
Not those of when my heart burned bright
nor times when you were near.

What light shall shine in me, this morn?
So solemnly I rise
Those days of intimacy, torn
yet still within me, cries.

Oh moon, oh moon, just stay a while
Come dance, come pray with me
For my heart is hiding in denial
just longing to be free.
