Beautiful Dreamer
by Jude Kyrie

In resting pose she sleeps in innocence
Under pillowed clouds and songbirds fold
Soft light pours upon her in vaulted reverence
her sweet face framed by hair of gold

At night the silvered shadows fall
In shrouded silence, she does not hear
The saddened night-birds call
Or the distant heartbeats of those so dear

Amber sunsets fall upon her, till
Darkness breaks with moonlight cheer
Lost in slumber deep and still
Safe from anguish and earthly fear
