Music's Night

The music that flows so smooth and bright
From the day that I will say goodnight
Though the darkness envelops me
Why is it that I can see
How is it I see my way
When in the darkness I wished I'd stay
My eyes glued shut
My ears receive no sound
My fingers feel nothing
My nose can't smell a smell
My tongue will no longer taste
Thought i can do none of these things
My heart continues to beat
My lungs continue to breathe
My blood races
And my brain is full of thoughts
The beats combine
My eyes flutter open
I smile and sigh
What a beautiful day to sleep under the sky
But there I sat upon my tree
Wishing, wishing I could see
The stars that shine so bright at night
During the day what a sight
The moon full and showing
Then it vanishes though the day keeps going
But for the waking hours and days
I wouldn't have it another way
To feel the bright sun upon my skin
And the fresh air that i breathe in
That is my music that so smooth and bright
From the day that i had said goodnight

The night breeze was cold and restless
Nowhere was a sound to be heard
And all that could be seen was the light of the moon behind a slowly moving cloud
The cool air flowed swiftly through my hair
As my feet sway beneath my resting body
The smell of sap from the tree I rested in was sweeter tonight than any before now
My eyes rested shut only allowing a sliver of light into my view
A hum began to resonate from my chest to help the night be even a little less quiet
The mood of the night lightened as my hum grew louder
My feet began to swing with the beat
As the song in my head began to fade so did my hum
But my heart still beat with the same rythm as to say I wasn't complete
