Lullaby and Wake Up Call
Sleep now, little one
Do not listen to their cries
They were not your home
Nothing but a dream
These hands that would seize your soul
Storm to gust to breeze
The future awaits
Dazzling brightly behind
Birthday cake's candle
Blow it out and wish
Extinguishing their voices
And making yours heard
Know that eyes brighten
Breath held in expectation
To hear your first word
The ghosts you once knew
Will awaken, in time, too
Their end not final
The zombies once dreamt
Will find hearts beating once more
When their time has come
But as for you, wake!
Know none of that was your fault
Your dawn, shining new.
