Strange 

the acceptance 

of passers-by, 

having passed 

how easily 

they let go.
Strangers 
in turn 

follow 

as an echo, 

heard whenever

light 

misses shadow.

Waiting on lights

to change

from amber

hurtling towards

Tear away feet, 

ground beneath. 

The emptiness behind,

Sleep child,

sleep.

I’ll sing you

a lullaby

from the heart.

Make way,

for sails that

flap unfurled.

Make way,

for raising

Sleep child,

sleep.

half night’s done.  

Trek the maze,

feel the speak,

small talk sum.

Follow gaze,

not deterred,

Long since won.
