Silver

 By Lia Bernhard

Moonlight slips

Down

Tears splash

Onto

The mourning

Mother’s lap.

Children dream

Of dancing

A violin sings

A unicorn slips softly into

Eternal sleep

Riches

Diamonds

Sorrow and

Joy

The stars

Play out

The

Stories of

Old

I slip into

Silky

Embrace of

Sleep

Dawn creeps

Up

Mystery

And wonder

Magic

Future

Love

To the

Extent of

Destruction

All this

While

We dream

Of

Silver
