Picturesque

Breathing - Pulsating

As If It Were It's Own
Separate Entity

An Organism 

All
It's Own

A Glimpse Awakens 

A Still Frame 
From Slumber

Giving Memory Life

Is That What A Photograph Is?

A Recollection That Is Frozen 

Somehow Stuck In Place...

By An Eyes Pupil Glancing In It's Direction

A Moment Is Reborn

In The Here And Now

Collapsing The Environment
 Around One

Transforming Time And Space Into Yesteryear

In Which

I Wasn't Allowed To Acknowledge

Or Should I Say Gave Clearance To Another

To Silence My Pain

Burying A Piece Of My Motherhood As If It Never Occurred

For The Unrealistic Convenience
Of False Appearances

That All Was Well, When For Me, It Wasn't

Carrying A Child Within One's Womb

As Two hearts
Share The Same Body

Is A Profound Connection 

Before The Action 

Of Giving Of Birth

To Be Told Hours After Seeing A Beautiful Face

For 9 Months Was The Happiest Unknown

She Couldn't Go Home 

Was A Devastating Anguish
That Eclipsed 

Pushing Her Out Into The World

What Was Once 

The Longest Week Of Uncertainty

Being Without A Loved One

Is Small In Comparison 

To How Long We've Been
Currently Separated 

Looking Back

I Witness A Strength 
Where I  Only Saw Fragility 

An Angelic Little Warrior

Fighting
Against The Odds

You're My Inspiration
