Smile

When the world sleeps and the stars shine
In the darkest hour of the night
Some half-burnt pages from memories I re-read and then ignite
Hugging the eerie silences
with a few lost tears adorning my eyelashes
I whisper your name
the ring of which is my lullaby
the echo of which runs through the sky
As the galaxies swoop down to kiss the baby good night
In a maze of dreams, we finally reunite
And in my sleep, I smile.
