Halo
Round, heavy, earth pulls down,
Slowly then suddenly water hits the ground.
Pain unexpectedly soon,
Too early, please wait another moon.
Released to air,
Pale skin ghostly fair.
Too little, too slight,
Weak cries break the night.
Breathe! Breathe deep,
Eyes open, do not sleep.
Watch me, I love you,
Stay with me, I will hold you.
Hush now it will be a quiet ride.
Weighted lids, tired eyes,
Sink deeply, close tightly,
My hands touch you lightly.
Don’t go, so soon?
I love you, I love you, I love you.
It is terrible to be reminded of your blessings through the pain of others.
