Author’s notes: Yet another poem from Dragondust. This is intended as an epitaph on a child’s grave, written by his mother.

Dream of Sunshine

O sleep, my joy and light, sleep, in your crib of stone.

Fly on wings of dragon’s dreams to the farthest shore.

My boy, my light, in the dark where you sleep alone,

Dream of sunshine, dream of me, dream and cry no more.
