Whisper me with butterflies
lull my skin, giggle,
moan me,
murmur senseless sleep.
Dream me strawberries and cream,
sing sunshine in my hair,
Be lighthouse, harbor me,
Be ship and kelp
Be songs of humpback whales.
So when morning tiptoes
I’m sated, I’m awake.

Passion for writing ignites my soul's momentum

Hoping to inspire the world one word at a time.
