She touched her mothers shoulder
Her tears falling under the beats of
The roman candle in the back round.

Her shirt was gently falling off her right shoulder
Her hair softly twisting in-between her mothers index fingers

She murmured the words of being cold
As her shadow began to lose
it's  silhouette against the French doors leading to the kitchen corridors

Her mother sang to her
"on the soft edge of the world
Where the sky use to turn
Sat a small bird named Sophie
Waiting to fly once her wings were fully grown..."

She hummed
Until her daughter drifted off
Until her daughterÕs
Tears were like the vineyards of their backyard
Just ripe enough for each tear
To reach the floor
And become apart of her mothers lap.

Softly she lay to sleep
In her mothers care
Under the wings of a gentle stare.
