The writing belows relates to the wonderful experience of watching children fall to sleep. I have a son, Luca, who is now 8 years old, and I have a daughter, Lena, who is now 14 years old. As young babies I can remember the beautiful ease they had, once in bed, to close their eyes and go to the world of sleep and dreams. This writing is for those moments I will always cherish;
Watching You Fall Asleep
(To Lena and Luca)
With this late light
that leans lower, and
the moon-lit sky, I swoon
and say good night...
With tomorrow’s shining sun
rising, I sigh and reply,
dreams sweet in repose;
stay tucked in as
within the restful, gentle
arms the newborn baby craves
as she rocks crib-like
towards silent, succulent sleep...
