Death Whispered A Lullaby

by Allison   May 27, 2007


Deep in the darkness of a lonely night
No one around to hear her screams
Whispers of enlightenment come to her
Like death in the night it gleams

Around the house and in the courtyard
Death whispers a lullaby
Calling to the innocent and bringing them close
Lifting them up into the darkened sky

Branches sway and roof tops creak
Wind sweeps the spirits far away
Singing voices follow them
Leading them away from the light of day

Peace comes to those who listen
Hearing the sacred voice
Slowly they close their clouded eyes
Falling into eternal sleep by choice
