Moonlight River
By Muse
Flipping stars nonchalantly into the silver-blue of the
moonlight river
Skeleton fishies swim through its vaporous waters
Aquatic acrobatics filling their time
Thickened air whistling through their ribs
And here I lie on the banks, quietly dreaming of you
Watching the current dance away with my musings
Glittering and sparkling in the reflection of my eyes
Fireflies ride the ripples, their tiny flames blinking
Burning and blazing the air with their frolicking
Illuminated with fallen angel's dust, my haven is
Surrounded by a peace-ridden glade
Everburning evergreens that hide the corpses of birds
Cawing and screeching as the flames caress them
Their molding, molting feathers continuously falling away
Their songs serenading your undeniable imperfections
The blackened air wraps around me
Obsidian fog to comfort and warm,
A soft blanket to hold you close
Near and dear to my heart you shall stay
With howls of ravenous wolves echoing through my conscience
And as I wait for my broken wings to heal,
By my river I shall love you
