The Portal

By Lunaria

The Portal When evening is spread out in the sky And the deepest nightfall is nigh When velvet blackness covers all And there are no stars or full moon ball When there's no wind to blow 'til morning light And there is stillness all through the night When not a sound can be heard And nothing at all is ever stirred Then I may sleep on my downy bed A sleep so sound as though I'm dead Be not dismayed if my leave I take If I should die before I wake Nay, not die. It would never be For I would not do that to thee When I leave I'll be fully awake And it shall be daytime for heaven's sake A portal shall appear before me in midday And I shall step through it in my own way I shall wave and blow a kiss. Adieu, adieu For I shall be made a person new. Copyright © 2005 Lunaria (Lila May Guptill)
