Droplet Lullaby

I close my eyes and drift away
to a droplet lullaby,
Carried aloft beyond life's cares
On a cloud of rhythmic sighs.

This serenade  clears the mist
Of worry and guilt and fear.
A bead at a time, it washes my mind
As peace and rest draw near.

When the storms of life beat against me
No matter what they try,
I look for the soft rain to realign my soul
With a droplet lullaby.

Very nice, Jack! Since you refer to a lullaby, were you inspired by children? It is a lovely piece! Congrats!
