Born innocent
Brought harshly in
Brightness, strangeness
Fear, crying, cold
wet

Lost
Searching for comfort
No words to express
Raw instinctual fear
Learning by the second
alive

Loved, wanted
Cared for from the first breath
the first touch
first smile

Now...
Alone, afraid, angry
Wanting to understand
not knowing
questioning
Why???

Barry

This happens sometimes...in between birth love and somewhere...it is very sad..such a stark difference,  your words brought it home.

Magnus darling boy firstly what on earth was this doing so far down the page, I have my pages set to 200 and this was well down that one. I know it’s not because it isn’t excellent writing, it must be because the pages move so fast and a lot had posted on top of you. I’d be ……….. I’d better not finish that thought darling heart, otherwise I’ll be requested to edit the reply

This is indeed exquisite writing, I don’t think there’s another that consistently writes such fine pieces. And the range of styles darling heart you have clearly an amazing talent and it’s wonderful to see it displayed so beautifully and in this powerfully. Well done darling heart very very well done. Now I’ve finished telling you how wonderful this is, I hope you had a fabulous 4th July and it was really special.

You know I love this utterly utterly it is purely divine


Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

A Pondering, thoughtful write...
Poignant, hard hitting...
heartbreaking...
