Rises The Moon by Liana Flores

Days seem sometimes as if they'll (1)__________ end
Sun digs its heels to taunt you
But after sunlit days, one thing stays the same
Rises the moon
Days (2)________ (3)________ a watercolour blur
Memories swim and (4)__________ you
But look into the lake, shimmering like smoke
Rises the moon
Oh-oh, close your weary eyes
I promise you (5)________ soon the autumn comes
To darken (6)____________ summer skies
Breathe, breathe, breathe
Days pull you down just like a (7)______________ ship
Floating is getting harder
But tread the water, child, and know that meanwhile
Rises the moon
Days pull you up just like a daffodil
Uprooted from its garden
They'll tell you what you owe, but know even so
Rises the moon
You'll be (8)______________ by sleep
I promise you that (9)________ the autumn comes
To steal away each dream you keep
Breathe, breathe, breathe
