In the dark where shadows dance
Dreams evade in a silent trance.
Moonlight whispers softly weep
In the stillness, secrets keep.

Stars above like diamonds gleam
Yet my mind's lost in a restless stream.
Echoes linger in the quiet night
Chasing sleep out of sight.

Wandering through the corridors of thought
In the realm where sleep is naught.
Time stands still in this endless flight
Through the void of a dreamless night.

But with dawn's first light hope shall rise
Dispelling darkness, painting skies.
Dreams may flee but in their wake
A new day dawns for hearts to take.
