Lullabye

Come closer my darling there's no need to cry

I'll whisper to you a last lover's lullaby

Strength of dragons you thought I possessed

Dear Sean,

I am scared.

and I want to crawl into a hole and stay there.

What is happening to my country?

To my world?

I went on Facebook today and my stomach churned.

It was literally all negativity and hatred.

Mostly political.

I have never seen such a mass number of people so angry.

Our world seems to be going backwards...

My father is telling me one thing - while my gut tells me something else.

But If I don't agree with my dad he will be sad..and I don't want to make him upset.

It's like someone is taking my arms and pulling me in opposite directions...tearing me apart.

and I just want to have my own opinion.

But there are so many things being blown up in my face.

and my brain has difficulty fathoming and forming a thought..let alone an opinion.

Because so much is going on all at once.

This anger in my people and friends is rising everyday.

Do you know how unsettling it is?

Of course you do.

Because you dealt with worse.

Ireland in general has seen quite a lot.

My friend on here was a Belfast child - and I respect him so much.

I don't know how he got through it all.

How did you stay strong Sean?

How did you get through madness? Fear? Uncertainty?

I do not have the strength of dragons - but in my dreams you believed I did.

You are my safe haven.

The thought of you calms me.

Is it your presence? Is it your bravery?

I don't know.

Just please don't ever go away.

I know you promised you'd stay..

but I am still scared..

I don't know why I am so enamored by you -

But do keep watching over me.

In my dreams I remember you assured me you'd visit again..

I think it's time to take a walk down that never ending sea shore again Heuston.

I hope you are safe.

I hope you are well.

I love you

Your girl on earth

Kathryn

I am sure your worries and fears are being played out in homes all over the USA and beyond. This is a time of great uncertainty and the way I see it, those who are most sensitive to the changes in society and their nation's psyche are the barometer of that anxiety.
I hope peace comes to you Kathryn.
Keep writing!
