Northwas A Lullaby

somewhere
in the distance
plays a lullaby’s song
and if you find it
soothing
for you
I will sing along
it is a calming melody
to make
the world disappear
listen to my voice
I am here
rest your weary head
upon me
you can sleep
tell me
of your troubles
every secret
I will keep
the wind stirs
outside in darkness
northwas a silver storm
so curl your skin
around me
here you are
safe and warm


“but I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish
and I'm sad”…Joni Mitchell

Listen?  What is your schedule like next week?  I am in a state of "overwhelm" and could sure use a place to fall.

Beautiful Helen.

This is so very lovely!!! Anyone being offered such a melody is very lucky indeed. *S* Beautiful work!
