Sweet Lullabies

by Simon Hayes   Oct 27, 2006


Whilst sitting among
Some long stemmed roses,
A beautiful maiden sat in the distance
Softly singing sweet lullabies.

As birds fluttered in from the sky,
I felt a gentle breeze as the wind
Softly carried the maiden's harmonies.

Rabbits, squirrels and birds
Surrounded her in her utter silence.
Overwhelmed by the peaceful tune
That shone proudly through the trees.

Branches swayed, almost to the rhythm
Of the captivating songs
So softly played from this young woman's heart.

I wandered among the roses, listening,
Hoping to capture the sound that echoed
Across the iridescent field.
Hoping for one last chance to hear.

Like a rainbow, she vanished
Leaving behind a trail of divinity.
Oh sweet maiden, sing to me once more!

    ^ I don't know what it was that made me love those lines. Maybe it was the word 'iridescent' which I haven't heard in a poem before, or the mysteriousness of you wandering around roses trying to find the girl that sang so sweetly. I love the imagery that you create in this poem. It gave me this wonderful feeling and that I don't feel very often and am only reminded of it when poems like this one come along. A very beautiful write.

    Take Care and God Bless,
