A Moment between Beats

When the strength gives up,
the arms let go exhausted,
the anger starts to fade,
and the lullaby to play.

In a moment between beats,
like all those wild beasts,
had to be put down to sleep.

There is a quiet yearning in this poem, Kahdai.
Just beautiful, and its title suits it well.

It seems I have missed quite a bit of your work,
there is so much to read here at abc tales.

A very poignant poem, that shows a real human side
of feelings.

Very well put together Kahdai.

Jenny.
