Oh Restless Night



Oh restless night
 please let me go
My deepest thoughts
within, you know

My struggles bare
before your eyes
Your grip so cruel
my soul it cries

Mistakes I’ve made
you now replay
Your heavy hand
leaves me dismayed

Oh go away
and let me be
I’ve paid enough
please set me free

    Another beauty from your flowing pen, so glad to read your work again, it is always tender and full of passion. Be still my night Don't let me go To where my soul Cannot refuel Light a lantern Of hope for me. vb
