Day 180: Lullaby
∴
i have a song for you
i sing it in the evening
when lights are low
and the sky is scented with smoke
from the hearth of homes nearby
it’s a distant, simple tune
and i don’t always get it right
but it reminds me of good moments
that pass in time
and then pass again in the mind
and i smile through the sound
the wonderful thing about a lullaby
is how quiet it can be
it’s a whispered melody
yet the weight of it’s air
is heavy on the ear
as it lulls you
it loves you
away from the burdens
away from the day
away from the work
that takes your time away
and puts everything
back in order
like mercury
returning to itself
i have this song for you
and i sing it sweetly
can you hear?
