Lullaby of the Leaves

Rustling leaves, lull me to sleep As softly softly dreamscapes creep Spiral my thoughts, like the dance of the leaf Drift me softly, softly to sleep Sing to me, til I'm in dreamland Let me sink into slumbers quicksand Soothe me, soothe me with your lullabies Softly, softly as I close my eyes Rustling leaves, sound of breeze through tree Hearts connect, as you sing to me Softly spiral into slumber sinking You and I drift away, no more thinking 2nd place Joe Bonamassa And Beth Hart Inspiration Poetry Contest 13th May 2023 Sponsored by: Robert James Liguori Lullaby of the Leaves

I wish I could have read this lullaby last night when I was trying to get back to sleep @ 3am. Seriously it is a beautiful poem. Congrats on your win in SO’s contest. SuZ

Thanks SuZ - I think this is my only lullaby but I was pleased at how pretty it turned out. Maybe I'll do the audio if I ever upgrade from a crackly phone microphone :)

How will we be prepared for the outside world if you declare everyone a winner haha :) I entered hastily. I'm not sure what I'd pick as a personal favourite but I can certainly go kookier for a future entry. I played safe
