• My eyes are getting tired
    but I force myself awake
    I feel as though
    I'm floating on a lake
    the waves rock me gently
    and the moon is my nightlight
    the stars show me
    different stories and pictures
    you play next to me
    softly and slowly
    you press different keys
    black or white
    to make a different sound
    each time
    or the same sound
    or one that sounds similar
    you start to stop
    your hands lift up
    and I ask you
    "please don't stop playing"
    so you play that song again
    over and over
    and in my dream,
    I find a four leaf clover
    I know that your song
    will bring me good luck
    but that song that you played
    all those notes on that piano
    can I call it now
    my personal
    lullaby?
