SELF-COMPOSED LULLABIES

Night, my dear night
Remember when we eloped
With teary eyes and bitter dismay
Escaping before the break of day
Before the sun conceived daybreak 
Into a brightness of the new
With so many cold sun rays
And the options so few 

Coldness filled, angst bound
Sitting on an unknown ground
With a plate full of hope
A spoon of sorrow and a vacant stomach
Straight out of the kitchen shelf
Into a construction site
Where a long lost friend did reside
Do you remember, dear night?

And here I am, here again
Covering the distance of that day
While nothing changed on the way
I lost the despair and the dismay
Here I am, a traveler once again
A self conducted experiment
A break-through of the night
Cradled by the fail of self-composed lullabies
