carpe noctem

     
the night ached  
it felt my loneliness  
my sore spots exposed  
   
it wept for my sorrow  
then covered me with stars  
so my naked pain wouldn't show  
   
he spoke to me quietly  
said all would soon be revealed  
inside your dreams  
secrets are told  
   
the key to my way out  
is in my hand  
i have to just unlock the door  
   
walk through it into tomorrow  
instead of living  
in yesterday's shadow  
   
he spoke in a hushed tone  
of a matter of importance  
said the winds of fate  
were blowing in my favor  
don't fear where it may lead  
   
your heart has been held captive  
to a darkness you can't see  
your freedom on the horizon  
just step into the promised land  
   
don't forsake yourself  
for the happiness of others  
learn your own truth  
not shadowed by another  
   
be the woman  
the gods called you to be  
stand true & strong  
then you will see  
your happiness flourish  
   
give yourself over to love  
don't fear its tender touch  
   
you are my Goddess  
so don't forget  
what the night always remembers
you're my love of forever
