a river by the endless lane

Tonight the night will near

The darkness will cover the land with

A thick goose feathered blanket

Made of shiny countless stars.

 

Tonight the eyes shall close

And the minds will rest.

 

The silent whistle of the crickets

And the lonely howl of the dog

Will be the only sounds

Enlightening the dark night

That has covered the roads.

 

That peaceful quiet night,

The only time creation rests,

Or does it?

I bet we would like to think so.

I bet we all dream of a time

When we can all stop thinking

And just let our minds float,

Outside that hallow shell

Called your head.

 

 

And where would it go?

I know where mine will….

Do you want to know?

 

Mine will wonder down the endless grey road,

Covered in dry red leaves with a tiny twinkling

Light somewhere aside the pavement.

Glittering silently in the shadow of the night.

 

May be that road will lead to peace,

To the light, to the nothing..

Or may be not…

 

It is a road I have walked endlessly

And I still walk over.

I love that road.

I love it because it leads to a place with no time.

A place only for me,

A place of peace.

 

A valley where the night and its crows

 

Break and wonder into the shimmer

Of the dusk and its orange glitter.

 

A place on a hill near a river

With waters turned black

And grass dried yellow.

A valley on a hill where lost souls

Rest eternally between the silent stones.

A place of the night

Where peace is found,

in the end of the lonely road

inside a village somewhere by the river

where the trees tell a story

of a long lost capital

of the land of the man

half bat and half wolf.
