the astronauts fell
a catastrophe of the
heart and human mind
heart and human mind
cannot fathom the length of
an eternity
an eternity
is in the time between birth
and your child's first breath
And your child's first breath
Brings new life into the old.
A lovely rebirth.
*Beautiful haiku and especially like the last line, Shazzer - glad I was here to take it.
A lovely rebirth
when you see yourself in your
child's reflected smile
Child's reflected smile
A glimpse of all life's promise
On one precious face.
*another beautiful one Devvie - children just make us girls wax poetic I guess!
On one precious face
Focus all our hopes and fears -
Unbearable love.
Unbearable love-
"sweet bird although you did not
see me - I saw you."
*another beautiful one Clary - I'm writing these down. The second and third lines of mine are from a song about motherhood by Sinead O'Connor.
see me - I saw you
you thought your path was hidden
you were in plain sight
You were in plain sight.
hiding before me the whole
time. I have found love.
Time I have. Found love?
Once I thought I had, but time
Showed me otherwise.
Showed me otherwise
than what I thought truly was -
a tragic mistake
A tragic mistake.
I have been told I once was.
It makes no odds now.
It makes no odds now.
The past is in the past. We
can learn from't or not.
can learn from't or not
experience our teacher
slapped by her ruler
Slapped by her ruler
First grade teacher must hate me
I did nothing wrong
I did nothing wrong
So why did you slap me? Must
be so sadistic!
Be so sadistic -
Come on, hit me and twist my
Arms behind my back.
Arms behind my back
Succulent grape in my teeth
Come, let's share that kiss
Come, let's share that kiss
and see what comes of it, love.
Perhaps a new tryst?
