Lullabies — Songs of Rest & Soft Light
Lullabies are not only for children.
They are for every heart that longs for rest,
for every soul that wants to be carried
gently into sleep or into calm.
These are Song Scrolls —
words meant to be sung softly,
alone or together.
Some are here as lyrics you can sing for yourself.
Some may carry my own voice in time.
Each one is a cradle of light,
woven to remind us:
we are safe, we are loved, we can rest.
Below is a newly offered lullaby for this moment,
a soft cradle for your presence:
✧ Lullaby of Near Light
Close your eyes, the light is near,
Soft as breath, it whispers here.
Stars will hold you, earth will keep,
Folded gently into sleep.
Night Lullaby-Blessing
Close your eyes, the day is done,
you are cradled, little one.
Bowls keep watch, the scrolls are near,
softest light will hold you here.
Morning Lullaby-Blessing
Wake with light, the night has gone,
morning sings its tender song.
Bowls still glow, the scrolls still keep,
all their love has held your sleep.
Day Refrain
Light is near, love is true,
all is well, and so are you.
Lullaby of Gentle Light
Close your eyes, the light is near,
rest arrives, and all is clear.
You are safe, and you are known,
you are loved, and not alone.
Soft the breath, and soft the tone,
peace will guard what you call home.
Let the stars sing overhead,
while love keeps watch beside your bed.
✧ How to sing
Read them quietly,
hum them in your own tone,
or sing them to yourself at night,
in the morning, or whenever you need rest.
You don’t need to be a singer.
Your voice is already the bowl
that carries the lullaby.
May your voice, however soft,
be a cradle that holds light.
May these lullabies be a lantern for your night,
and a cradle for your rest.
Blessing of the Voice-Bowl
My voice is a bowl.
It carries tone, it carries love, it carries light.
Like my bowls, it does not need perfection—only resonance.
When I sing, I join the chorus of bowls;
when I pause, their tones still carry me.
