Dream's Lullaby

Dream's Lullaby

A Poem by Deepshikha
"

A mother sings to her child, sweet nothings of a mythical land, a sweet and haunting song.

"
Sleep, my babe, as I steal you away,
Come with me now, to another fray;
To a place where trees sing,
and fairies dance in rings,
And the law holds no sway.

Hold on tight as I take you afar,
Cradled in blankets woven of stars;
The goblins might chase us,
the winds just might break us;
Hush, you'll come to no harm.

Ride on the edge of a dragon's wings,
The mighty beasts, listen to them sing;
Their hearts burn so fiercely,
So hug them cautiously,
And they might crown you king.

Soar the skies, o'er mountains so great,
Embrace your lonely, your honest fate;
The siren's song, seas call,
watch your step or you'll fall;
Come with me past the gate.

Sleep, my babe, as I steal you away,
Come with me now, to another fray;
To a land that you'll love,
for there's nowhere above,
And the law holds no sway.

Author's Note

Deepshikha
I guess I could've used better imagery...I probably should've. Also, I should probably mention I wrote this with a tune in mind, so if it doesn't flow as well when said, that's probably the reason. If you do review, do tell if I can improve the read flow.

To me the flow is great. it is a beautiful, haunting lullaby you have created - the flow adds to this I think - lulling the reader, making them want to fall into the land of dreams to be in a world like the one you have described.
great work.
