The lights go out
The world falls asleep
Now is Nature's time
Finally she can take back
What was once stolen
Her beauty
Which was once everywhere
For all to see
Now is hidden
And wants to be found
Have you ever wandered into the night?
No?
Let her tempt you
Into seeing her beauty
The glowing moon is brighter now
Bringing light
To what was once only shadows
The distant stars
Sparkle
Giving hope in dark times
The brush of wind across your cheek
Caressing as a lover's touch
Your eyes close
Reaching out for a hand
Feeling the warmth
As though it was never there
Their pulse quickens
They feel it too
The gentle rustling of the leaves
Do you hear what the world whispers?
She speaks to you and me
Silently as the wind
Pleading for you to hear
What needs to be heard
"Let me be wild
Let me be free
Let me be beauty
That all can see
Let me grow
Let me spread
Let me find peace
Or else I'll be dead
You may need me
But I don't need you
Once I'm gone
You will be too
So stay by my side
Take what I give
Return to me
And in peace we'll live."
As the world goes silent
Your heart stills
Searching for more words
That will never be spoken
As the lights come on
The world wakes up.
