One Thousand Cranes
: Nocturnal Symphony by Gypsy Blue Rose

 

Stars are out for you tonight

and the moon lulls you to sleep

hush darlin',  I’ll hold you fast

and blue waves will ...

rock ... rock ... rock

 

Far away, howls a wild wolf 

and below, sea creatures shout

but don’t fear, my little one

mom will wait till you ...

nod ... nod ... nod

 

 
 
 
 

Author Notes
Thinking about my mom's lullabies. She died when I was ten years old.

My sister is very sick in the hospital. Prayers are welcomed. Her name is Mina.

Ekphrastic is a poem inspired by a picture

Free Verse is an unrhymed poem

nocturnal - night

North Carolina Sea Grant reports the study found that fish compensated for the noisy underwater environment by amplifying their vocalizations. Yes, you could say the fish were shouting. source


Thank you very much for reviewing my poem.

Gypsy
