Days seem sometimes as

if they'll never end

Sun digs its heels to taunt you

But after sunlit days,

one thing stays the same

Rises the moon

Days fade into a watercolour blur

Memories swim and haunt you

But look into the lake,

shimmering like smoke

Rises the moon

Oh close your weary eyes

I promise you that soon the autumn comes

To darken fading summer skies

Breathe breathe breathe

Days pull you down just

like a sinking ship

Floating is getting harder

But tread the water child,

and know that meanwhile

Rises the moon

Days pull you up just like a daffodil

Uprooted from its garden

They'll tell you what you

owe, but know even so

Rises the moon

You'll be visited by sleep

I promise you that soon the autumn comes

To steal away each dream you keep

Breathe breathe breathe
