Fear

She will tuck you in to bed
and let you dream
your days away,
shielded,
safely swaddled
from the worldly
windswept waves.

Your toes need never wander
from 'neath your
alabaster
king duvet,
nor flutter kick you
from the deep
to some distant shore
along your way.

With eyes unopened
she will rock you
in only her arms
will you sway
and the static of
her heartbeat
will remind you
how to pray.
