The Cradles Rhyme

Do not rock the cradles rhyme
The stock is made of fragile time
The rock may quell the stir of cry
But cannot change the final lie

Take advantage of each clause
Each moment is a different pause
Different in the book of time
Made and mixed of different grime

Sail the sail that you would go
No one knows the end of flow
Be the button fills a hole
Grant the lesson to your soul

Lend some time to fantasy
Illusions of eternity
I feel that it does not exist
But happiness is made of mist

Make the mist a shawl of lace
And give a rose to times embrace

That verse holds more wisdom than it should be able to carry...OH BUT IT DOES...

Oh sir ... it exists alright ... and you present it so poetically rhymed~

Sy

There is so much wisdom in this...there always is in your poetry, but this one especially moved me because it reminded me of a special time and someone.  Thank you.  

Rock the cradle
hums the silence,
swaddle the aching story
in soft memories lullaby.
Push again
the breath of morning
into the arms
of waiting listen
before the wail
and stench of dying
digest the offering
of my needful retrospect.
