A lullaby for sleeping Is what I bring to you Given safe within your keeping Those dreams to see you through You wander through the dreamtime With sleep upon your eyes I'll watch you in the meantime With wonder and surprise May blessed dreams of starlight Speed you on your way Embraced within the one light That brings the break of day As soft you sleep in dreaming Your eyes begin to show The pleasure in this seeming And all that you will know The moonlight glimmers lightly Upon your frowning brow I think of you more sprightly While you are sleeping now The rainbow bridge of sleeping Calls you to dream anew And as I watch you, weeping My love is turned to you In the darkness wending Your love reveals the way Those rainbow dreams I'm sending Are yours to keep always In sleep I watch you breathing Your eyelids flutter soft You still my core of seething And lift my heart aloft I love to watch you sleeping As dreams take over you And know you're in my keeping In all that you can do So starlight dreams I'm sending In wish to help you sleep May dawn's light never ending Help you, your spirit keep Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

Hey Lady Keth...this is such a tender side of you, the love that is so evident melted my heart. I love lullabyes too. Just wish they worked...(I was the kind of kid, who would light a lighter and scream "encore!") So...? smiling...  Encore!!!! |

Keth darling sister of my heart and holder of crystal dreams filled with rainbow’s hue. You know I’m going to say this is utterly utterly gorgeous don’t you. of course beloved sister you KNOW, you always do. The whole poem is crafted in wonder these two verse are especially beautiful, I love it. A perfect and outstandingly written piece of starlight, I utterly utterly love it The rainbow bridge of sleeping Calls you to dream anew And as I watch you, weeping My love is turned to you In the darkness wending Your love reveals the way Those rainbow dreams I'm sending Are yours to keep always Across the bridge of sleepy sighs Dreamers walk beneath blue skies Gather bits of rainbow’s hue To decorate their souls anew Your lullaby caresses me Fills me with luminosity Takes me back to that place Where I left the human race Upon the bridge I’ll wait for you Until the day fades from view In rainbow’s dreams we will play Until the start of another day Marsha You know I simply love this don’t you? Of course you do  Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

This was so very sweet and endearing. I enjoyed the vison-like quality of the profound love and tenderness it portrayed. Reminded me of an old song...a lullaby I used to enjoy...called Dormi, Dormi, Dormi. Beautifully penned Kethry! |
