Weeding my way through The thorns and branches that threaten to Push me down. Trying to reach the top Where I will see the whole world as it is, In its full beauty And the boundless opportunities it holds For me. The sun sets behind the hills and the animals come out to play. The owls and bats fly overhead until the break of day. The crickets chirp, the wind dies down, all is silent, not a sound.
Darkness is here, time to sleep.
Close your eyes and don't you peek. Shadows cover and steal the ground, tied to the grass, dark is bound. So lay down you head and go you may, until the night turns into day.
