Lullaby For An Aching Heart
Come now, aching heart, you have carried enough for one day.
Come now, aching heart,
you have carried enough for one day.
Lay your armor down.
The world will turn without your vigilance.
The stars will keep their watch.
Let your ribs soften.
Let your breath fall like a tide
returning to its quiet shore.
You are not required to hold
every sorrow at once.
You are allowed to rest inside your own small light.
Hush now.
The night is kind.
Nothing is asked of you here
except to be held
by the gentle rhythm
that has always carried you home.
