"SLEEP"

Now I lay me down to sleep,

winter's grave beside me.

Cold rivers course through my veins,

winter's gray inside me.

Into the brink that sadness craves,

Sun slips silently beyond the keep.

Eyes closed darkness complete,

removes my heart where light would keep.

Now I lay me down,

there beyond the keep.

Forgotten rose beside the gray,

our light burned out...
