cry
cry
til you no more weep
fall
fall
into my keep
into
into
a motionless heap
muted
muted
don’t make a peep
sleep
sleep
sunk down deep

drink the honey of the sundrink deep until the day is done
be drunk with light
into the night
drink deep until the day is done
of golden wine, my bonny one into the night
you will shine bright with golden wine, my bonny one
be drunk with light
you will shine bright drink the honey of the sun

Deep in the pit
of my stomach
a chipmunk seems
to have gotten loose
and he’s running
and chattering
and scurrying about
looking for nuts
or some such
nonsense
I try to tell him
now just isn’t the time
he’s upsetting my breakfast
and he’ll have to pay!

ethereal alien of miniscule size
your future is revolving in my eyes
you traverse floating adrift on your natal sea
oblivious safe from reality
both the ship and universe you know are alive
Nurture from unseen love makes you thrive

you’re
*thump*
just a speck
*thump*
a tiny thing
*thump*
still being knit
*thump*
together
*thump*
but I can sense
*thump*
your little beating heart
*thump*
my love
*thump*
for you is real
*thump*
I know
*thump*
you cannot
*thump*
hear me yet
*thump*
the sound
*thump*
of mommy’s voice
*thump*
but feel my
*thump*
lullaby today
*thump*
as my heart
*thump*
sings
*thump*
for you
