Silverthrone Poetry (4)

Ancient trees are
standing guard Around
the old graveyard The
leaves are trembling in
the wind Listen and
you will hear their song
They sing for the dead
who lies buried Deep
in the ground With grey
tombstones above

The moon so high in the
sky
Pale white, its myst
erious light The moon is
shining down on the
graveyard Sighing mournfully
for all mortal men
Who in spite
of all of their struggle and plight
Ends up under
a tombstone in the graveyard


On twisted
branches the crows sit
Black feathers Black, glitt
ering eyes
As the
night goes by
They fly
to and fro the trees
surrounding The graveyard
They crow For the
folly of men
Hoping for immortality
Even though they
know They will end up
In a tomb in the
graveyard

When you find that lucid thought
The thought that reminds of a bright
And sunshiny summer morn
The thought that can make it all worth while
Even though the sky is grey
And all you can ask is why
Keep it close to your heart
Like a treasure held dear
But don't put it under lock
And key
Let it grow and glow
Let it shine through all the grey
And you will realize that it is
A beautiful day

Meet the queen of night
She lifts her arms towards
The sky
She asks the moon if he can
Dry all the tears that she cries
But there’s a sad looking moon in the sky
He can’t wipe away the tears from her eyes
So she keeps on building the castle where she
Dwells
It is built of all the tears that she sheds
It imprisons her and keeps her in solitude
Even though freedom is in the air
It can’t find the queen of night
So she stays in her castle where she weeps
All night long
And builds tower after tower
All night, til dawn
Moonbeams reflects in her castle of tears
she lifts her arms towards the sky
But there’s a sad looking moon tonight
He can see the queen of night, imprisoned in her castle of
Tears
He is sad because he can't wipe away the tears
From her eyes
He cries because he can’t help the queen of night

Silver shadow
And silver mist
Please hear my prayer
As I lay my head on
My pillow
Grant me my wish

Don't let me go to sleep
All alone
The night is so long
And I need some one
To hold

Silver shadow and silver mist
As I lay my head on my pillow
Grant me my wish

Let me rest gently
All through the night
Let my slumber be
Peaceful
Without dark dreams
Or beasts that haunt me

Silver shadow
And silver mist
Don't let me go to sleep all alone
The night is so long
And I am so alone
The night is so long
And I need some one to hold
