In your lap

 

IN YOUR LAP

 

With my head in your lap,

I awaited the arrival of stars

Scattering across the meadow,

Flocks of birds above

The tender grass.

 

Our lips drew close,

Thunder began in the sky,

Eyes flashed with lightning.

The frightened flocks of birds

Ascended back to the sky,

Turning into stars.

Their chirping remained

In our hearts.
