the heart of a lost child
in mourning for love & compassion
your beautiful kaleidoscopic greenish agate blue eyes looking up from a strain of unbridled tears
i hold you in comfort and rock you gently
smoothing your wetted raven hair from the rain
kissing your forehead gently & mother like
as we sit on a charcoal marble bench letting you rest in my arms as i caress your porcelain chiseled face as you drift off to sleep
