Thoughts and Things

Lullaby to My Heart

Awaken my heart, awaken,
Do not tremble,
you will not be forsaken,
Truth will not forget you,
Nor the ages forbid you
from sailing past the moon.

And if moonlight dares to pierce you,
remember it does not despise you,
it simply does not care,
for bleeding hearts and broken masts,
of either friend or foe,
it only seeks to grow.

Sleep my heart, oh sleep,
lay down, forget how to weep.
After the stars and beyond the curtains,
no light shall dare,
to illuminate your wounds,
or tell of your despair.
