For Safe Dreams

Silently dreaming of himself asleep A cat naps safely in a bed For neither fear nor worries creep In peace he rests his tiny head A cat naps safely in a bed Beside my son in silent bliss In peace he rests his tiny head Upon the waves of the abyss Beside my son in silent bliss I battle monsters he won't know Upon the waves of the abyss It's I who walks where shadows go I battle monsters he won't know For neither fear nor worries creep It's I who walks where shadows go Silently dreaming of himself asleep 8/1/21 For Eve Roper's Pantoum contest Photo 2 (for initial inspiration)
