"Bella's Lullaby"

The music has a mysterious,

ephemeral quality.

The opening is dark, consistent,

gradually joined by other instruments.

The music is soft, brushing by

like a breeze ruffling my hair.

Midway through, it accelerates

building to a climax that asks a question.

The melody is the answer,

explaining and listing

reasons for being happy.

The ending is uncertain,

Yet somehow inevitable.
