My Gorgeousness

This absolutely beautiful picture of my daughter (says the unbiased mother) inspired me to write this:

Sleep my gorgeousness
sleep
lay you head on my tight
let me kiss your temple
and inhale your sweet scent

your heartbeat
be the gong that guides me out from the
cave of despair
sleep my gorgeousness
sleep
let me be the one that battles the shadows away

sleep my gorgeousness
sleep...
