In the darkness of midnight, Are they my screams or the wolf’s roar? Looking upon the moon, I find a glimpse of what remains. I wonder will I ever touch that glimpse, Or is it only A fading memory of mine? I enter a world of moonlight And softly twinkling stars Its beauty and mystery Hold me captive. The stars burn bright I love their light; I wake not to reality, But dwell in midnight’s dark instead. Why do we always long to escape reality? If this is what it is, Why live a life of escapism? Let us live the life we truly seek, And not linger in the veil of escape.

Midnights Glimpse
In the darkness of midnight, Are they my screams or the wolf’s roar? Looking upon the moon, I find a glimpse of what remains. I wonder will I ever touch that glimpse, Or is it only A fading memory of mine? I enter a world of moonlight And softly twinkling stars Its beauty and mystery Hold me captive. The stars burn bright I love their light; I wake not to reality, But dwell in midnight’s dark instead. Why do we always long to escape reality? If this is what it is, Why live a life of escapism? Let us live the life we truly seek, And not linger in the veil of escape.
