Hush is a hushed word meaning hush 
Contains the digraph “s-h”
It’s phoneme is unplosive
Like the whooshing sounds
In the womb
That the baby hears
With his shell-like ears
And will recall when 
His mother is whispering,
“Shhhhhhh”.

As the little one
Fights against sleep
His muscles will sway with fatigue
He will smile the smallest of smiles
At how sweet it is
To be defeated
And slide 
To the land of nod
Can’t decide 
Which land is more real
He resides
Somewhere in-between 
At the border lies
The kingdom of hush.
