Child’s Last Light
Salt soaked eyelids sagging
Unceasing streams of liquid
Tears stained the silk face
Painting the terrors of the day
Hush my child, I’ll sing you a lullaby
Caressing you with the heavenly chorus
The ground does not desire anymore sorrow
But the stars crave your twinkle
Steadily, curtains of skin descend
Masking the pain etched into the eyes
Lips tremble, uneasy slumber
No more teddies, no more light
Hush, I’ll bathe your dreams in white
Let the skin slide from your shoulders
Ease the suffering of physical wounds
I’ll mend your broken winged heart to fly
Tranquility overtakes the mind
Scattered breaths steady to an even beat
A rare peacefulness discovered
Yet the burning sun shall overtake the night
Hush, I’ll cradle your bare heart
And fly you to the heaven of stars
Laugh as though you’ve never uttered a breath
For this shall not last
The morning blaze arises chasing the night
Ashes of humans piled up into mounds
The remains of dreams and lives broken
And one little child
Hush, my child
Hush

| This broke my heart and brought tears to my eyes. I've read extensively on the holocaust and it still touches me every single time. No child should ever know such atrocities. May all the victims rest in a peaceful slumber. Thank you for sharing this with us. Kie |
