"Lullaby"

A lonely song resounds
through the seascape.
The ocean is a minstrel;
singing for all time.

Lullaby, lullaby,
lure to me eternal sleep.
"Listen closely, my student,
and shed a tear for the lost."

The ocean strums
a silent harp,
fashioned from shells,
strung with dune grass...

Follow the sound
into eternity.
Lay down to rest...
Lullaby, lullaby.
