Lullaby Series I

Lullaby 1

to the sailor of gentle soul
soft feathers cross night skies
and all brief moments of tenderness
spent like pennies in an arcade
he afloat, as a curl of wood rests on glass

summer has flown  
the owl calls and she waits
a woman alone with fireflies
tilting her glass in fond salute
to the green wandering sea
