I watch the street from my little window
The soft allure of a lavender sky
Laden with stars cradling periwinkle
That prosper as the world is drowned by the night
And the moon rises shyly, its light cool and gentle
It brings with it a breeze that smells of the tide
I am alone here, but it does not feel like it truly
Aboard the weary hours of darkness blooming
So I confide in constellations
Lulled by their warm consolation
Listening to Corvus sing his song
My one real friend is the raven
The rest are my imagination, all long gone
