Vedavearre's Lullaby By Tri'ah Derderian Child of the sun, born of the moon You illuminate the world around you May you forever feed on the honeydrop stars
re
May you always feel alive beneath the moonlight May you always dance to the songs of the forest and lend your voice to its chorus May you give yourself to the whispers of the elements
co
May you never doubt that the love held for you is fierce and unrelenting May you find you limit to your dreaming
lS
The day you were born, the birds danced across the sky, twirling and toppling, as they inhaled your beauty The butterflies fluttered their wings, racing across the hills and forests, desparate to share the news of your magnificence
sa
The most fair of fairies, blushed and bowed their heads at the sight of you, they flew across mountains and seas to sing the song of you Oh, child of the sun, born of the moon You illuminate the world around you
Pe ru
The crown jewel of all that sparkles and shines Because of you, night is now bright
Your voice ignites the mountains, calling them in their beds, pulling them from their slumber, stroking their sleepy heads Magnificent child
You set our hearts on fire
Oh glorious gift to the world, composed of love and stardust You emerged from dreams, night songs, and sorcery The love felt for you is alive and will forever burn Oh, child of the sun, born of the moon You illuminate the world around you

Welcome to the world.
"Life rushed in upon her through that window - or so it seemed. In reality, of course, life rushes from within, not from without. There is no work of art so big or so beautiful that it was not once all contained in some youthful body, like this one which lay on the floor in the moonlight, pulsing with ador and anticipation." - The Song of the Lark Willa Cather
