within in the cradle of the crescent moon <br />i sail the milky way into the green lagoon <br />to hear my mother's song and fairies tell <br />of shahrazad and nightingales. <br />of knights and dragons and the holy grail <br />of david and madonnas in blue veils <br />over the rainbow higher than a balloon <br />i sail the milky way into the green lagoon <br />where fireflies light and seafoam perfumes <br />awaiting the sound of the ancient tunes <br />of singing dolphins and the great white whales <br />who hear my mother's song and fairy tales <br />that first i heard as i lay in her womb <br />then soothing me into the nursery room <br />the soft music and bittersweet scales <br />of sharhazad and nightingales <br />each new season they have and will prevail <br />i honor her as i follow my trail <br />and listen to hear her croon as lilacs bloom <br />within the cradle of the crescent moon<br /><br />Cathryn Adeli<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/within-the-cradle-of-the-crescent-moon/
