Tonight

Tonight, I accept the moon’s embrace
The cold winds that burrow through my thin skin
Tonight, I let the dark sky lead me to nothing, lead me to empty
Because the stars refuse to shine their light for me tonight
Refuse to be the guiding grace
Refuse to show the path
Because nothing ever really last

So, I wander, ice cold, barefoot, in darkness I ponder
If nights continue to be longer, grow stronger
Young woman, I beg of you to learn to walk through dark
Without sight, without light, without flickers of even candle lights
I beg of you to let the cold winds find a home in you
Feel, adapt, till the cold no longer bothers you

Trust in your every step, it’s soft, it’s cold, it’s wet, it hurts you murmur
Young woman, hold on, don’t stop, keep walking
Until you get to welcome the sun’s embrace again
