sleep child sleep

By Jara

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

sleep child sleep the calling of dawn is upon us and slightly disturbed is the light this age rich with promise grows more flacid by the day souls mascarading in a cosmic womb abandoning their mother who nourishes them so sleep child sleep and cherish your dreams for tempests of doom cant disturb slumbers of youth I have misplaced the innocence that once  embraced angels they visit while I sleep when vulnerability unleashes scars hidden behind monumental walls every empire inevitably falls sleep child sleep and let me watch you breathe the world seamed with strings of change carries the need to think far away my soul bleeds into the night watching you rest among tired things the frostbitten world grows a little warmer while you dream sleep child sleep in a bed far from pain where hectic surroundings gently roll away scurrying about in a race other children give in to time and age as raisins in the sun you are safe with me sleep child sleep Written February 27th, 2002 © on Feb 27 2002 05:43 AM PST   0 • 13
