Speak
       Life
            Into
               Yourself
      You’re
                More
                     Delicate
                             Than
                                     You
                                        Think

I once felt so out of place in this world, like my soul was too old to belong here...Then one day God gently carried me to a clearing in the woods and dropped me, saying. "Here are your people."

Let me be your little birdie,
Nestle in your arms,
Lay your eggs,
Look after your nestlings till they learn to fly away,
While you and I sit on the rooftop,
Watching our children make their families.

He hasn't buried the baby within
but today he buried the ashes of his baby
crying like a baby
as the river devoured the bone dusts
and all the remnants
of the cuddles and kisses
hollowing him to remember
the guest of his blood
that would feed on his grief
for the rest of his life.

This woman, she did all that she could..she never went far, she bloomed where she stood.  There was rain, but seldom was there any light. So she lived as a flower that bloomed in the night.
