Lullaby

This song came to me during school yesterday, starting with the lines "If the voice is right, any song is a lullaby"

Close your eyes

And shut out the night

I will sing you a lullaby

If the stars are bright 

And the voice is right

Any song is a lullaby

Go to sleep, oh now

You'll be safe and sound

As I guard you singing a lullaby

Please don't shed a tear

Or show any fear

You're with me and my lullaby

If the clouds draw near

And their roar you hear

Listen close to my lullaby

The rain falls down 

To wash away the ground

I'll be here with my lullaby

When the cold does come

And your heart feels numb

I'll whisk you away with a lullaby

Though the night is long

Listen to my song

Tomorrow comes with a lullaby

This is very pretty and I would love to hear how it sounds. It reminds me of Lullaby by Nickelback in a way, but this has a more dream-like quality to it. The rhyme is effortless and it looks like you had next to no trouble making the flow of this right.
I think I will go read more. You seem like a good writer.

This is one of my favorite poems you've written (that I have read) because the poem itself sounds like a lullaby. And from your author's note, I guess it is. It has a dream-like quality to it, and just the sound of the words when they are said out loud is beautiful.

I like the flow of words and desire of the poem. To sing a lullaby is to relax another with a kind words of music. Thank you for a outstanding poem.

This is extremely romantic! Something inside of me just exploded in pure joy! I love the imagery! The whole piece just comes together in a fantastic way. I can see this poem itself be made into a lullaby. I think this is one of my favorite of yours. Definitely something I will come back to.
