As She Whispered Lullabies Into Tangible Stars Poem by Janine Alyssa Navarro

slipping away into the evening
she dances on tip-toe like a high minx;
her giggles break into soulful melodies

she had the most amazing smile
that can make the hands of the clock
dropp six feet under, irretrievable

her eyes shine like a thousand moons
melting even the demon’s intent
into a liquid flower, gleaming and healing

she gently sits on the sleeping grass
tucks her hair behind her ears,
as she whispered lullabies into tangible stars
