Lullaby

 

Inside me

there is a stormy sea

rolling and crashing

beneath slate clouds,

heavy;

making me breathless.

 

But soon,

peace comes,

as grey skies

turn to ink

and the sea,

now soothed,

sounds like

a lullaby.

 

My eyes close

and I crumple

into sleep.

…

Inspired by Writealm’s September prompts for last Friday and today ‘inside me’ and ‘crumple’.
