The earthside glistens from rainfall's night
Sun of our God, glimmering daylight

What will we hear today?
What will we see today?


Rippling rivers traverse downstream
The creatures of Nature seldom seen

Plantations growth tame when lost
Only to find what life could  cost

*What could we feel today?
What could we be today?
Circa 2012. , written on a cardboard plate.

Grounded me earthside
Fingers of twine

Pulled me from him
Steadied my spine

Fingers of dread
Waiting, waiting

Pointing to the door
Aching, aching

Tap my sternum
Baby's lullaby

Help me breathe
Write me right

You held me long within you
From the moment I grew inside you
You knew me and I knew you
As I thrived within your womb
Every day to grow and move
You felt me and I felt you
As one with you so long
Every breath, your voice your song
I loved you and you loved me
My time here was too fleeting
So short our earthside meeting
But you knew me and I knew you
As you gazed upon my face
And held on to hope with grace
You loved me and I heard you
I felt each beat of your heart
Our love can never be torn apart
My mummy you will always be
I love you and you love me
For my cousin Lauren, in memory of her Baby girl Gracie Jane who passed away at 8 hours old.
