Counting Sheep

The 'Other' Side

Close your eyes,

Try to sleep,

Beware the wolf,

Count your sheep

In the dark,

The dark dark deep,

Shadow monsters,

Lurk and creep

Follow the fox,

Secrets keep,

All alone,

Alone I weep

Litte red,

In the woods,

Carrying light,

Carrying goods

Not one monster,

Many more,

Oh my dear,

At least, there’s four

Like a raven,

Others words,

In a dream,

I have heard

Sold me out,

Dug my grave,

Danced around,

With lemonade

Through the portal,

The other side,

From myself,

I cannot hide

Nor can you,

Near can they

Scales of Justice

Time to pay

Just a dream,

All alone,

Ghosts and visions,

Empty throne

In the dark,

Dark dark deep,

All those secrets,

That I keep

Haunt my dreams,

Now haunt you too

All the words,

All the clues

Time to rest,

Time to sleep,

1, 2 ,3, 4
