Lullaby
LullabyLull me to sleep,
hold me close
in the comfort
of silence,
no words,
no questions,
being together
in the middle
of life's raging
storm, a place
of quiet peace,
connected
in that special
way which words
would hinder; holding
being held, rocking
each other through
night's sorrow,
in the moment,
hoping to forget,
for just a moment
all the pain
of being alive.
