HOLD MY HAND AT SUNSET
When the daylight goes out
And the darkness makes
Its curtain of stars slip,
Hold it tight
When I can’t live it
This imperfect world.
Hold my hand.
Take me where time does not exist..
Keep it tight in the difficult life.
Hold my hand…
On the days when I feel disoriented..
Sing me the song of the stars,
Sweet chant of breathing voices..
Hold my hand..
And squeeze it tight
Before the insolent fate
Can take me away from you.
Hold my hand ..
And do not let me go…. never.
