Lullaby

Seeking peace,
and rest on soft waters.
Afloat in a star filled lake.
Warm waves, still.
Half asleep.
Half awake.

Adrift among a future to be.
A better me,
of calm, and peace.
As thoughts cease.
Gentle flows.
Drifting dreams caught,
and released, on sensitive skin.
Hopes held within,
and kissed to life.

Long slow steps in a day of quest.
Thick warm nights in liquid rest.

The peaks fall flat.
The noise to quiet.
The sun to dusk
and all is right.

Sinking in silence
of perfect night.
