WHISPERS OF NIGHT
When the moon rise forward into my room eyes change into rose colored
When the stars play in the sky with color power that I wish to join
There’s not anything in the sky, I gonna sky to sleep and spin a dream
when the night came washed to my body in the river like a fish.
I felt strength in the night like corocode in the sea.
When the night come my dream took me up saw a couple of wonderful hope.
