Sera's Lullaby

Drift to sleep beneath the willow weeping.
--slumber under mother's tree.
See the tangled tears that dangle sweetly
--rest amid the zephyr breeze.

Let the heavens' showers drown the sorrows
--Wash away the woe and pain
Dream of fire burning bright tomorrow
--heal within the flame and rain

Wish for water; douse the Earth
Quench the dead and broken hearth
Pray for fire--purging flame--
Cleanse the soul of fear's disdain.
