Cradle Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Cradle



Cradle
Cradle of white snows
In the deep summer

Cradle
Of the thoughts
In the hand
Captured
As we captured
The butterflies in boyhood

Bladder of throbbing
Hearts
Blood in the veins
Ruptured

The night be long
The night be long
And weary

And there overhangs
A hummock
Cradle
Cradle of white snows
In the deep summer
