Tell Me of the Night

Tell me of the night, father
The night is our mistress, daughter
She watches over us and protects us
Tell me of the moon, father
The moon is our mistress' eye, daughter
She is so timeless and eternal
That it takes a month for her to wink at us
Tell me of the stars, father
The stars are our reward from her, daughter
For each fear confronted and defeated
She ignites a new star in the sky to light our path
Tell me of the shadows, father
The shadows are her mark on us, daughter
To let us know that she is always with us
Watching our steps and taking care of us
What about when I close my eyes, father
That is her greatest gift of all, daughter
For that is when we enter her realm
And she shows us our desires
And even the impossible is possible
But what about the bad dreams, father
Those are to remind us, daughter
That the worst of fears dispel when shown the light
And that nothing is so bad
That we cannot wake up from it
And face the light once more
Now go to sleep my daughter
And dream your desires
And confront your fears
Knowing that our mistress night
Is watching over you
And keeping you safe
Tell me of the night, father
Tell me of the night
