Lullaby

I am a lullaby
Meandering through your
Bellybutton until I
Reach your lifeline

‘Soft as a shadow'
I move up your spine
In your chest, I rest
Schlaf ein

‘Soft as a shadow'
A kiss on each eye
In your chest, I rest
Schlaf ein

With fingertips
Tracing your lips
I silence your sorrows
Am your straight and narrow
Window of time

Noiselessly we harmonise
Composing a keepsake
A sensate safe place
Calling warmth to mind
