Dark Lullaby

Sweet, mystic, notes echo in my ears
Shadows fill the room, the music fades
Then, I hear it again
Sugar coated notes of darkness
Filling my mind with murky pictures
Come, come, I hear the voices
Chanting in my head, dancing around me
The notes grow shorter, the shadows longer
The song pounds in my head
I want to sleep
To fall asleep to this dark lullaby
My lids grow heavy
My head feels light
Everything begins to fade away

Then, I hear a voice
Calling me, telling me to wake
I cannot fall for this tune
This dark lullaby
I need the light and only then
Will this lullaby be gone
I cry out, I need you now
You hear my voice and come for me
You rescue me from this dark lullaby
You wrap me in Your arms
I’m safe
I’m home
