Behold silence over babe's head strength passes from cradle's dead abrupt happenings in the middle of the night a child's breath seeps out of sight behold the strength of the spoken word "cradle death in the land of absurds", is it the child that tuns over in sleep that causes heartache, young parents to weep? Behold life passes through conduits that channel breath runs through tubes that funnel inhalation is curtailed, headstones at tiny graves, unveiled... demand explanations frustration... breath that escapes from lands of no return explanations of silent nights, of the spirit that passes over doors of the chosen of orchestrated wails at the foot of beds, it happens abruptly when least expected how delicate life is when breath is connected.

You did a truly good job describing crib death, and just how fragile a small life is, or any life for that matter. How unexcepted and abrupt it is indeed. Well done. |

Very well done Martin. There can be nothing more tragic than the sudden loss of a child. ~Heart Hugs~ ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |
