Rock-a-bye-on-you
Ever-infant child singing
And let the sweet tears
Carry you home
Happy as humility
Sustains and falls onto its knees
The soul walks on now
To crawl, fly away. Come.
We are all invited to laugh at Love’s funeral
Celebrate the life of every heartbreak birthing
As the solar plexus sounds mad, sad and maybe even …
And here now are the memories that keep killing you with joy
Forcing you to see hope alive
And choose the light that slaps you in the face
And you still must defecate and urinate all over
Eternal misery and or be happy … I’m not sorry for this
Unless you want Love’s living spirit to die …
Again?
Forever?
Heal, rise, write, and paint and so I ask you picture this
A work of art was once created by you … as you were
And a cycle comes full as its last breath is going now
© Copyright 1/5/2008 C.C. Arshagra
From “The Poetry of Good-bye” series
Breathe now for the last breath is gone
Inspired by Gigi! micmac and her piece “Torn…. somehow, with effortless tears she has inspired a poem, again.
About Torn…. the art work that inspired this poem GiGi writes:
This a double layer of bark and a portrait of my grandaughter Angelica.
size…2928×2346
Birgitta choose the title…thanks again Birgitta I love it.
Before ,a long time ago , they use to capture the moment in paintings.When I did that layer I had the impression to had captured the beautiful face of my Angelica forever.

I thank you all for reading this poem!
The moments you (may graciously choose to) take to comment truly matter.
I am so grateful to those who favorite the work (especially because it a written work)
May I ask you to PLEASE READ MORE THAN ONE POEM

I am EXTREMELY GRATEFUL TO THOSE OF YOU WHO ADD MY WORKING RedBubble Site to YOUR WATCH LIST -I feel this is one of the highest complements of respect a visiting RedBubbler can give.

Hi Pijinlane, Sorry it took so long to thank you for this bold and passionate comment. It is one of the early poem inspired by art on RedBubble. I was so new to this site at the time. Your comment here truly made me laugh out loud. and it is one of my all time favorite comments. Your respect for all the diverse writings I have written and posted here humbles me and gives me faith. Love to you! Love to you and love to you!

Well!!! sheepish grin … makes me angry when real talent is not appreciated but I suppose it would be a very boring world if we all liked the same thing!
I just like how you use words!!
