forty-one.

bird song.

can i help you go to sleep tonight.
i'll sing you a lullaby in the center of your nest
as your oval white eggs warm underneath your breast
i'll help you rest tonight without disturbance.
while the wind brushes up against your fragile feathers,
i'll be singing you a song to fall asleep, with ease.
just sleep. i'll watch over you and your nest.
tonight, you are protected by the lyrics on my heart.
