This short story/flash fiction is written for the photo prompt atย Describli.
A Haunting Lullaby
Close your eyes, oh my sweet little child.
and let the winds lull you into a deep sleep,
Let the soft moonlight caress your delicate skin.
Let the coldness around you wrap you in its feel,
And let the ground beneath you pat you when you stir,
Let the morning dew cleanse your innocent drool.
Let the distant howlings make you feel not alone
Let the birdsโ chirping make your dreams come true.
So what if Iโm not with you,
so what if I am not aliveโฆ
I will always make sure that the youโre put to sleep-
gently and lovinglyโฆ
and that none will ever disturb your sweet slumber.
