Midnight Jewel

Midnight Jewel

Dresden blue and scarlet red
the turmoil spinning in my head
while nothing's really as it seems,
the answers lie within my dreams.

What troubles in my mind are kept
secret sorrows that went unwept.
Lover's lost while never loved
these are the things that I dream of.

Happiness being the jewel of light
the gem that I find only at night
I sleep and my soul is finally set free
to experience what my heart longs to be.
