Embrace the serene night:

The warm winds hum lullabies in your ears,

Clovers and ferns weave a pillow for your weary head;

Lay it down and

Rest easy.

Your travels have engraved their signature in your broken skin,

And your shadow drags long behind you,

Surely stretched out by the weight of all you have endured

To reach this point.

Let the grasses stir in the summer breeze

And massage the tension from your drained body.

Leave your footprints to fill like puddles when the morning rains slink upon us;

There is no need to return to wipe them away.

You have come so far as it is,

Why erase all that you have done?

Close your heavy eyes,

And I will place lilies upon your lip

So that their soothing scent might ease your troubled thoughts.

There is no need to worry when what is done is done.

The soil fills your ears with a comforting silence,

Masking all you sense around you in peace.

Embrace the serenity;

A night like this will never come again.
