A Lament ~Where hides the laughter once yours, my son~ Close your eyes. Let me place my hand atop your slumber. Let me kiss a dream upon your brow. Lift your head. Let me wipe the stain down a path of tears that rest naked now upon your cheek. One last time Let me touch a cloth seeped in hope to your lips, and let its sweetness drip grace down your throat. I could, but I would not, this one last time, my child. I will not rob you of your regrets or bleed to nurse a woeful heart. I could, but I would not, my child, this one last time. I would not pull the unhappy blade, Lest, I dull your sword. jeanne rene 1/04
