Sleep elusive.
No longer needing
to hide
from me.
No lullaby
and
I need one
now.
A song, a lullaby
to sweeten
my night,
my soul.
Walk into the night with me.
It's not as dark
as you imagine.
Sometimes we only see the light we want to see. This was beautiful. I'm glad to see you back :)
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes, so true!
DeleteA mother's love is vast.
ReplyDeleteA mother's love is not measured by the number of kids she has but by the love she holds in her heart.
Beautiful but unsettling! A little like the restless night that it portrays... I often have these uneasy feeling and it's strangely unsettling to have the final invitation into the darkness - even though I feel it should be reassuring!
ReplyDeleteIt is unsettling... I have that uneasy feeling most of the time too. It is funny as you want to go to that place, but it is just taking that step. I was feeling quite good when I wrote this, interestingly enough. It is a bit like when your back is up against the wall, you don't have the luxury of choosing, except whether you are going to accept or struggle. Thanks Jools.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful :-) x
