Blue Lullaby

Houses on the hill.

Lonely specks of light.

Faint echos

promises...

adrift, 

eaten by the night.

Mothers, Fathers

Children

gathering to repose.

Lights like eyes,

vigilant.

The peace that deepens grows

and slowly softens

the lights go out

as sleep secures its hold.

Mothers, Fathers

Children

Dream

of tales never told.
