Stranger to your sight
Child afar, I speak to you
as darkness shrouds your sleep
and brings me here to burn this light
and share what shines so deep
A stranger to your sight am I
though not your native blood
of which I ask to show you more
beyond maternal love
A lullaby though she will sing
to comfort you to dreams
yet know her song can flame the heart
its passions and all it seems
Know her for her wild embrace
her fears, her joys, and more
that will be just outside your reach
a gentleness beyond whats yours
And know your blood is not unshared
and in that knowledge grow
and wonder at the loveliness
that she has thus bestowed
And as my light begins to fade
and yours does start to glow
I ask that I may catch you wake
and see what I now know

Simply beautiful.
That is absolutely gorgeous! You have a gift.
Oh and I cleaned out my cookies. I hope my posts are showing up now. It's crazy how things keep going wrong with blogger.
Hello Siv Maria:
Well done.
Kindest regards,

Wow! that touched me!
I don't know why my stuff isn't showing up for you. It seems to be working for everyone else though so let me play around and figure this out.
Beautiful poems and wonderful song. A true delight. I also caught up with the golden castle and left a comment there too.

That was truly beautiful! You have great rhyme and flow! The words you used fit perfectly inside you lines like being cuddled in a blanket. Very well done.
Very nice!
I am so not a poet.
