NIGHT LULLABY

Let me sing you a sweet song while your eyes dilate.
Let me coo into your ears, a quick rhyme before you slip into the fantasy realm.
Let my words be a glider that transports you across the conscious waters and lands you on the banks of the subconscious.

Aye
I will sing you a lullaby tonight.
I will gift you with a song emanating from the vocals of a nightingale.

"Twinkle twinkle little star.
How I wonder what you are:
Up above a world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky..."

Why are you dull dear one?

Oh.

Is it because I sang you a poem from a children's book.
One that lies side by side with the falling London Bridge which no one has made an effort to repair.
One that lies close to the merry fellow who keeps rowing his boat gently down the stream.
One that lies close to those two brothers, sorry, birds that have flown away with the wind.
Or is it because you expected so much and got so little?

Do not be dismayed,
For I have come prepared.

Sleep, sleep dear one.
The vast horizons of heaven beckon on you quick.
To have a little wash in its aphrodisiac waters.
For your soul needs a soothing touch.
To have a little taste of its sweet pomegranates.
For your strength needs to be refuelled for another day.

Sleep sleep dear one
The realm of visions await;
Projectors ready to relay messages from the great seer.
Crystal balls ready to unravel the warped gift of the future.
Bloodied entrails ready to show the hideous faces that lie behind the smiling masks.

Sleep sleep dear one.
Edumare beckons you to another wonderful rest after a stressful day.
