Soft Lullaby

A faint light shimmers across the room
Chasing back the shadows of night
Her eyes fog over in thought
As she whispers a soft lullaby
Reflecting up on her short past
Remembering when she would smile
Grace and beauty befell her soft and tender lips
But now silence claims her lost forbidden voice
The tender beauty her reflection once saw
Remains so distant from her mind
A gentle touch she had forgotten
Floats gracefully from the shade of night
Its wings holding splendor and charm
As it lands within her soft and gentle hands
Her eyes still cast shadows upon the night
Fail to see the beauty in her life
Her heart still beats even though she has passed
Her silken skin is cool to the touch
She closes her eyes with a soft sigh
And as the light withdraws ,her soft voice sings..
