lullaby

it is what i want very much to write..
for the dark misgivings of our world..
for the savagery our hearts take up..
a song, a poem, a verse..

that will rather break the spell ~
for instead of putting us to sleep
it must be a lullaby
to wake us up..
to the great sea of lovingkindness..
yes,
a lullaby to rouse us from our ruse..

it must be tender..
a song that will embrace the fire of a brutal one..
a hymn that would love a hand away from a trigger ..
an anthem that would draw close the hurt that harms..
a psalm .. benevolent  &  kind..

sweet one, who rocks this boat by night..
dear one, please find your rest in breath
sweet one, who tethers to the might
let me rock you, let me roll you

away, away from any thought
that splits your heart in two
dear one sweet one, find your breath
for i am seeking you..

awaken to the morning bright
that holds your heart at peace
yawn off the dark charms you possess
rest in the breath, be blessed..
