Fly by, lullaby, catch the wind and sigh…

Her box of sunshine lies unopened
Not meant for any eyes or any minds to seek
And find.
Not even hers to keep yet hers to have, but
Only to whisper nothing at her eyes.
Transparent grays and blues reflect
Tendrils of old ivory gazing solely at the
Box of tempting shining stars or
Crescent moons that come to mind.
Beauty seeking, beauty speaking
Out of reach for little hands and little hopes
That will, one day, make and break
A dream.

Fly by, lullaby, catch the wind and sigh…

Fly by, lullaby, catch the wind and sigh
A cradle moves, a cradle sooths your sad and distant cries.
Fly by, lullaby, catch the wind and sigh
Don't shed a tear, don't show your fear
Of cloudy silver skies.
Fly by, lullaby, catch the wind and sigh
Make a dream, and hush your screams
When it is time to die.

Hehehe---Leah...I REALLY liked the second portion! I found it to be...bouncy! Don't ask me why!

I'm not disregarding your first portion though---it was spiced with Leah-Goodnes...and that, my dear, is saying alot!

There's a lot of hype surrounding Leah-goodness. And this piece is a good example of why that is.

Kiss your muse hello, Leah.
