Whisper


Head of a Boy by Peter Paul Rubens



Whisper soft songs surround your face
with baby lace
lullaby dreams
innocence streams

Whose child is this white powder rose
in soft repose
sugar breaths fill
puffs airy still

My world made quiet, wondrous, clear
one joyful tear
to spy your face
and feel your grace.
