the face that I had loved so well lost in nod's misty rivers as I looked long by the railing so utterly lost in her bowed serenely in larkish prayer the changeling was unaware slipping through time's filmy chaplet wreathed by fireflies and melody she fell into inevitable chrysalis babyhood flickered in that last exhale furled smoke emerged ocean-eyed flutterby I wept to wet her wings H I wrote this for my daughter on her 5th birthday. Was thinking mommy thoughts today, about how she would be 10 this year, and yep, cried again. I seem to break down in five year cycles. |

Beautifully written. Enjoying watching your child's wings spread each day is the most wonderful part of being a parent. |

Shel Thank you so much. I know you are familiar with the heart I wrote this with. Midnitesun Yes it is, but bittersweet. I tell my children "If I could just have you at age 3 for a day" or "If I could only have you back in my arms brand new so I could smell your newborn skin". My daughter asked me once, "Wouldn't you miss the me I am today?" Well of course. Thank you both. Love, Heather |
