Helmi

Helmi
do I hear a lark on the wing
and a soft and gentle voice sing
like a nightingale ?

Helmi
can I hear a soft lullaby
and a hug and kiss not to cry
and a fairy-tale ?

so far away in a distant memory
someone smiling at me
clutching reached out hands caringly

Helmi
conjuring those childhood times
simple songs and nursery rhymes
sung so lovingly

are rainbows made with a million raindrops
falling down from the skies ?
those colours shine within your eyes

Helmi
voices question what's in a name
and the answer's always the same
tenderness and beauty

oh Helmi sweet sweet name
