Gaze of the Moonfern

Hush now, my love, close your eyes tight, Your gaze holds the shimmer of moonfern light. Green when you're bold, grey when you dream, Shifting like starlust over a stream. You’ve my eyes, my echo, my dawn-colored flame, A quiet inheritance, soft as your name. No list can define you, no law can erase— The truth-tinted gaze in your brave little face. When winds grow loud, or hearts seem far, Look in the mirror and know who you are. The shade may change, the world may spin— But this light inside will never dim. So sleep, my spark, wrapped in skies spun slow, With eyes like stories the wise winds know. And if ever you wonder what you might be— Just look in my eyes… and you’ll see me. Rosa’s Porch Lullaby: “Gaze of the Moonfern Hush now, mi cielo, let worries take flight, Your eyes hold the shimmer of moonfern light. Green when you're brave, grey when you dream, Changing with stories, like stars in a stream. You carry my gaze, my whisper, my flame, Rare as a feather, soft as your name. No law can define you, no list can pretend— Your soul’s painted truth that will never bend. When winds howl loud or fears try to stay, Look in my eyes—they won’t drift away. The shade may shift, the world may spin, But this love inside will never dim. Sleep now, mi vida, wrapped in skies spun slow, With eyes like secrets the old stars know. And if ever you wonder just who you might be— Find the light in your eyes… and you'll find me.”
