Description Wait for Sleep

Standing by the window
Eyes upon the moon
Hoping that the memory
will leave her spirit soon

She shuts the doors and lights
And lays her body on the bed
Where images and words are
running deep
She has too much pride to pull
the sheets above her head
So quietly she lays and waits
for sleep

She stares at the ceiling
And tries not to think
And pictures the chains
She's been trying to link again
But the feeling is gone

And water can't cover her memory
And ashes can't answer her pain
God give me the power to take
breath from a breeze
And call life from a cold metal frame

In with the ashes
Or up with the smoke
from the fire
With wings up in heaven
Or here, lying in bed
Palm of her hand to my head
Now and forever
curled in my heart
And the heart of the world

This pictures was inspired by this wonderful song of Dream Theater, from the Images and Words album. Take a look at the link and listen to it!

Wait for Sleep

Wish I could do a better piece for this amazing song... -___-

This is outstandingly beautiful. It matches the beaty of the song if not even more.

This piece is so beautiful. You are an amazing artist, and I think I am going to have to look at the rest of your gallery. Oh, and, I did listen to the song. I can see how it inspired you.

This is gorgeous. The characters look so sweet, yet the mood seems a bit sad. The patterns on the white really make it look nice and the contrast of the characters makes for a good composition.

Is very pretty. =3

Yes, it's actually a bit sad, I wanted them to look like that!

I'm happy to read you like it!
