Wolf-slaying wonder,

queller of thunder,

cousin of both life and death.

Nothing can touch you

as your mind brings you to

safety, as you slow your breath.

Sleep.

The original wonder,

a mystery deeper than anyone knows.

A heavenly gift

casts you adrift,

soothing the mind

outside of time.

In darkness you roam,

far from home,

while your body stays here,

right here,

resting.

Resting.

I could see the pain in Harry’s head,

feel the ache in his arms and legs,

and while he allowed for Agatha’s rest,

told himself that he knew best,

he wouldn’t admit his precarious health,

wouldn’t take care of himself.

And though he will know nothing when he wakes,

it was I who whispered in his ear,

and sang him a lullaby soft and sweet,

and took him down to blissful sleep.

Sleep.

So his body will recover.

Sleep.

So that he may grow.

Sleep.

So his mind can forget.

Sleep.

So belief can grow.

Sleep.

Sleep.

Sleep.

Wolf-slaying wonder,

queller of thunder.

Cousin of both life,

and death.
