Sleepless

In the twilight frost a chilled earth does weep

As it's life fades to the ashes of clay

Mother is gone and bereft of hope

In a slumbering sigh all that was has died

A shade cast to the cold, black rain;

In the sleep that never dreams the pale cover of earth's harvest is barren

Weep your sighs as they cascade to ice

The breath of life has frozen in the night

Herein lies dead emptiness

Embrace the sombre desolation in this respite of grace

Mother is gone and bereft of hope

In a slumbering sigh all that was has died
