Elaney

by Maple Tree   Feb 6, 2014


She layed there bundled,
swaddled in a heather soft
blanket, tangled within tubes
and wires.

I whispered to her softly,
you will rise above darkness
little one-

A poet knows when a poet is born-
for her soul etched parchment minutes
after she was born~

Dedicated to my niece Elaney
(memory of the day she was born,
almost 20 yrs ago)

    I agree with amreen. This is a very beautiful dedication. The joy of birth is magical and I loved how you describe this. Very touching and beautiful. The imagery is very vivid and you did a great job placing our minds into the scene. Lovely write!
