Walking through sapphire dreams <br />And creamy songs wavering, <br />The world has never been so peaceful, <br />The stillness so promising. <br />Just by looking to the gloomy sky, <br />I could see the future smiling back, <br />My generation so happy together, <br />My heart could fly forever. <br /> <br />The midnight archers on my roof, <br />Spat their arrows at the stars, <br />Work your magic, midnight witch, <br />Show me the path that I should pick. <br />Something lifts me from my feet, <br />Brought me into a deep jade sleep, <br />The blossoming of a new round moon, <br />Wounds the darkness of night, so tight. <br /> <br />Now I’m awake, staring into blank space, <br />Suddenly I see a meadow of shadows, <br />With black ravens spanning their wings, <br />A mountain spitting its lava, calling Great Kings. <br />I know the constellation high up there, <br />A sign for me to run and flee away, freeing myself, <br />Now my feet can’t stop running, jumping, <br />Panting and out of breath, I must not stop avoiding. <br /> <br />I raise my arm, point to the dark heavens, <br />A mantra of goodness slips from my lips, <br />‘Come Hurricane, fly here, lift me from this horrible land, ’ <br />‘Bring me back to my home and bring this night to an end.’<br /><br />Mimi Fakhira<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/midnight-magic-2/
