FMA poem for fma_100

[okami_hu]

Fullmetal Lullaby

Feel the gentle wind tonight;
Full of tears and muffled laughter.
Everything seems clear and bright
Filled with deep despair and rapture.

Railways run into the distance,
Train engines hum soft and steady
Lulling me into a deep trance
I’m almost asleep already.

Folded red coat is my pillow,
Red eyes watch over my nightmares.
Short is my rest, the joy’s shallow;
Where’s the place where our journey ends?

Where is the peace of our young souls?
Vanished into sinful darkness.
In my heart the emptiness grows;
All my nights are cold and starless.

One thing keeps me moving forward -
A promise I made years ago;
If I can be true to my word
True happiness soon would follow.

Wow. That was *AWESOME* if people were scared of the challenge before, I doubt they'd wanna try and go after this.

Hooray for being the first! Good one too. I guess no one likes poetry much now, do they? Perhaps I should have thought of something else but I'm too lazy to think now.

I think I have almost put it to music. n_n This poem deserves to be put to music. ^^ It's so beautiful and touching... Oh my, if my mother would sing that to me before I fall asleep, I'd fall asleep crying. ... Good thing the last time my mother sung a lullaby to me is sixteen years ago. ^^; I think I'm a little to old for that now.

But oh my... the rhyme here is awesome. *_* I can hear the violin, piano and flute already playing it. I love it!
