Serenade

The midnight serenade
slowly penetrates
going deeper and deeper into my soul
Cracking . . .
Then powerfully breaking
those inner walls

The midnight serenade
mercilessly disarm my defences
And in a split second
leave me here bare naked

The midnight serenade
Singing dreams betrayed
Humming hatred glorified
Bringing me back to my knee

Crying ...
Sobbing ...
Screaming ...
Praying

The midnight serenade
begins to fade
and dissolves itself
Into a simple prayer of life

LORD PLEASE FORGIVE ME
