Dear Silene Nocturna

Dear Silene Nocturna,

How are you? How is life during the night?

Last time we talked you sounded confused;

The world, the stars, then me and you.

If I could answer your questions

And help you bloom;

I'd sing a lullaby to soothe the insomnia

That's haunting you.

If my whispers could reach your heart

And if my fingertips could touch your hand

I'd be the first woman to step foot on the moon

And you

The first night-flower to stretch through the day

But still...

Here I am,

Down on Earth.

Seasons have passed and yet I await.

My Silene Nocturna, my dearest sleepwalker

How many sleepless nights? Until you

Feel my heartbeat, do not close your eyes.

I'm looking forward to holding you tight;

'till then, my sweetheart, have a goodnight.

                                        Yours truly (just a fan)

                                       

                                 Yona
