A Mother's Lullaby


The Sky...
One of the many loving mothers of the earth itself.
Ever so emotionally she can be...
Just as happy as it wants to be when the sun is shining.
Or just as sad when it rains.

But today is not like any other day for her...
Her blissful winds turn to chilling whispers.
Her clouds were darker than any other.
She... She was giving birth.
So beautiful...
And so shy... Her newly born children were.
Dancing gracefully, like white rose petals, throughout the night.
Singing along with their mother’s lullaby.

With time, her children leave the nest.
With the blink of the eye, their all grown up.
Uncertain to their fate.

My hands reached out to her children... held with death.
As they melted away to the last notes of their mother’s song.
