While the city sleeps

Night, child that welcomes weariness with open arms
How they wander, those who can't savour your powers
In the dark and silent house, everybody sleeps but me
Landscapes,shapes and sounds...
All the things that wake up upon nightfall.

I'm not alone, for I have met creatures like me
Numbed and consumed by their own thoughts
While the city sleeps

The Muse's figure sleeps by my side
While the precious diamond starts to shine again,
and renews in me the gift of life.
In the walls of my imagination, high definition screens
Show me peaks I may never reach,
Now within my grasp for a few moments.

Nothing passes unnoticed
The wager is done, and already won
Flesh and bone can't face the mirror
While the city sleeps
