Lullabye

Please find peace.
Please find release
in quiet exhalation,
fluttered between curtain
billow, pursed lips, pillow.

Please.

This is no time for reparation,
only respite now,
bowed from lash to cheek
in gentle expiation for the day
has ended, quietude prevails.

Unleash the sails of care
and cradled rock in dreams
that soothe. Ride on seas
glass smooth to slumber please
till heaven washes you
upon the shores of dawn.
