"Dreams" by Takeuchi Naoko
Say, Haruka-papa.
I wonder, how far does that darkness in the sky go?
Is there a pitch-dark wall at the far end?
Or is it dark like that for infinity?
Say, Michiru-mama?
I wonder where rain comes from.
From that city of twilight?
Or from the bottom of the sea?
I wonder where that puddle that disappeared went.
Say? Setsuna-mama?
Why does the dawn come?
That beautiful woman in the moonlight withered away.
The white butterfly I caught that day,
with Haruka-papa and Michiru-mama died in the birdcage.
I wonder why. I'm lonely when I close my eyes.
All kinds of "wonders", I saw spinning inside the lavendar monitor.
Letting a drop of water fall,
it spins like a filament. On and on...
Say, Haruka-papa, Michiru-mama, Setsuna-mama? Hold my hand tonight.
Stay with me all night long.
I want to have happy dreams.
Dreams the color of rainbows.
Dreams where the people precious to me are smiling with joy.
Dreams that won't disappear when I open my eyes.

A little note about our Goddess of Death, Sailor Saturn:
You know in Sailor Moon R when Chibiusa (Rini) turns into Black Lady (aka Dark Lady, Evil Lady, Wicked Lady, etc...)? Well, Cheak this out:
"White Lady - all Celtic countries; goddess of death and destruction. Called the Dryad of Death and Queen of the Dead, this goddess was a Crone aspect of the Goddess."
Aka: Sailor Saturn! Bwahaha! Ain't that awsome? ^-^ Curtosy of my dearest friend Erin-sama.
Sailor Saturn's Attacks:
- Silent Wall - Puts up a wall of energy to block the enemy's attack -- hear it in mp2 format -- see anime pic
- Death Reborn Revolution** - Sucks the enemy's power so she can drop the Silence Glaive and destroy the world -- see manga pic 1 or 2
- Silence Glaive Surprise - She slams her Glaive into the ground, causeing a big explosion.
- Saturn Crystal Power (Make-Up) - Transforms Hotaru into Super Sailor Saturn -- see animated GIF -- see manga pic -- see .AVI movie
For all those who haven't figured it out so far, Hotaru Tomo is Sailor Saturn.
Hotaru is a lonly girl who thinks that no one cares about her, until Chibiusa comes along. She becomes Hotaru's only friend. The kids at school always make fun of Hotaru because she always wears long sleeves because of an accident she was in as a kid. The accident accually killed her mother, Keiko, forcing her father, Soichi, to raise her alone. Her father is controlled by the Deathbusters. In the manga, Hotaru lives in a cyborg body maintained by her father.
Note: Some say that Hotaru and Chibiusa are a yuri pairing (they are in love). However, unlike Haruka and Michiru's realationship, it has not been said by Naoko Takeuchi that Hotaru and Chibiusa are a couple. Many factors point to 'they probably are' and many point to 'they probably are not'. This, like many yaoi/yuri pairings out there, is up to the fan to decide.
