The Sounds I Heard

Poems of Sound

Snuggled up in bed

Your eyes flicker open and shut

A smile across your baby face,

You listen to

Your mother sing soft songs.

"Pretty little bluebird,

Why do you fly?"

Shadows dance across the walls

As your hands made animals

Come alive.

Lullaby after Lullaby,

Your dreams slowly take you

As your eyes shut and the songs

Are whispered away.

{RM} a memory of mom
