    The gold in your hair / Is only a hint of the wealth I have in my heart Because of you And when the wind blows through it / It’s as i…

    Dedicated to Axel Moore and his mother, Sarah. Please give your condolences to Sarah and Glenn. I have no idea what it’s like to give a child back to God like this, but I don’t think I’m wrong in thinking that the pain is such that no parents should have to carry that kind of sorrow all by themselves.

    by liesbeth

    I knew you / before our eyes met, / love’s threads woven / when we were / still one. / Your birth / making us / live as two, / love’s threads / i…

    Giving birth to your children is the first separation, but as a mother you can still hold on to your children and overload them with your love while they are still young. / As they grow older, they need more freedom and holding on too tight is only making the process of another separation more painfull. / Then all you can do is trust.. this is what i am going through with our oldest son .. in my experiences of loosing loved ones too early i have a tendency to hold on a little too much… while he claims his right to experience life the way he chooses.. in that he teaches me to learn to let go and trust.. / Take a close look at Terri’s depiction of my words here

  • Amazing Work with YOUR inner child
    by linaji

    I did it with all my anger. I did it because I was too angry to die.

    Please read this with an understanding that this is where I was I do not feel abused nor a victim in any way shape or form. I feel however you have to start where you are. I am where I am before you move on past the pain. I recommend for anyone looking for their inner child to do this work The person who helped me so much a couple years ago asked that I do a flow of whatever came to mind of my first meeting with my inner child. This inner child piece was written as is, I made very few changes to it. I did not edit this as I wrote it .. Raw and from my heart to my sweet little Lynne, whom I have grown to love more and more as each day passes on. / xox HERE IS THE SECOND PIECE I WROTE After a few months of discovering her

  • The Eternal Tree
    by Kristin Reynolds

    I am Alive Forever and always Essence Rebirth Renewal / I have earth to ground me I have wind to move me I have fire to …

    Simply put: This is a poem of the wonderous and most beautiful TREE. / This poem is another concrete poem of mine, which means it was written to be in the shape of a tree. but, it seems RedBubble doesn’t hold the image, and places every line left, no matter what i try. I’m still new, maybe there is a way to format it so it holds its shape? anyway, I thought I’d post it anyway, since i like it. :)

  • My Soul, is Freedom’s Journey
    by Kristin Reynolds

    Blowing through a vast crevasse – / from whirling tempest; / to calming balm on wounded skin; / to constant howl; / to sunlit kiss, onto war…

    Ah. How to describe this? This is, quite simply, my past – or, the majority of it’s heaviness. So much. So many details. In short: my beautiful mother died at the age of 26, at the hands of a monster (AKA: the black-maker); tortured us beforehand for 2+ years on a daily basis (he was a dirty, dirty cop) which included molesting me for many years, years of which I have but 2 memories left after my brain erased my hard-drive to keep me from killing myself, most likely…the body knows what’s best. although, it would be nice, to have even one memory of my mother. she died when I was 7. She took her own life to escape him. / I have always pictured that little girl (me at 7, post her death) as sitting atop this pillar in a cave, bound and gagged, waiting for the adult me to come and rescue her…maybe someday I’ll be able to remember, and realease that girl of mine) / but for now, I take all of this as : A GIFT. and I mean that. ,my past is my gift, my present the reward. I harbor no ill-will against anyone. I forgave the man about 5 years back, in a dream actually, and my mother as well. / As I say, “I am the light-maker now”. So be it. I accept. With love and forgiveness in my heart, how could I do anything but shine for them?

  • Through the Glass, of Valhalla
    by Kristin Reynolds

    “Come to the window… / I can see myself more clearly, / here…” A Valkyrie goddess – / gold and pink, / with the heart of a dying child; ...

    A poem dedicated to my beautiful, Goddess of a mother who died tragically when she was young (26) , long story, and all she taught me of life through her tragic death and sacrifice. This is a poem written from her perspective in italics, her words to me…at least, those are the things she taught me… I love you, Mum. :)

  • Ancestral Love Traced

  • The Screaming Box
    by Kristin Reynolds

    You are tied tight, / woven into my fabric, too close knit to distinguish / our separate blends. So hot…the box of before, / burning i…

    This is a poem about my mother: The lost, and The found of her… / She died tragically (suicide/murder) when she was 26 and I was 7…back in May of this year my uncle sent me an old box I’d never seen before, which held ominous letters written a year, a few months…and right before her death; a pair of glasses, her bronzed baby shoes, cards kept from holidays, and a few other (now sacred) seemingly insignificant keepsakes. / This box would not stop. I had to hide it, so the pull of it did not suck me down again into her ends. / This is a poem about that box. / A repost, as this was only the second poem I ever posted here and I wished it read. :)

  • The Mourning of an Aging Songbird
    by Kristin Reynolds

    I From the kitchen / lips and tongue singing / as a 5 am songbird. / Dough rises, / and falls / about your arthritic, yet / nimble fingers…

    This is a repost. I tried in vain once again to link this poem to the other one through a journal…but, it seems (as I suspected!) I’m too dumb to actually make it happen. :) I can accept that. / So…here it is, posted again; as the last time I posted this for my beautiful grandmother, I had just joined the bubble, and not many read it. / I wanted my Gran read. She raised me after my mum died when I was 7 (and had lived with us most of my young life before then) – i miss them both more than words can say, as you can imagine. / thank you for reading. :)

  • your caring
    by linaji

    you sent me a movie of your caring I watched you click on / view seems stunted but the feeling is mutual / words from a great poet you s…

    Loving gestures are wonderful / sometimes depending on the day they switch on a feeling / not good nor bad really / however something that gets attention more than the purpose / of the gesture / tis our own agenda of course that dominates everything / that is why I find it hard to believe we could influence a fly / cept in death / but even then the choice seems to be / fight or allow / I like to think if I faced a death and I could choose how / I would respond / I would choose the allowing / and maybe I could stay conscious through the transition / from life to life / anyway I love others / I love me / gestures are are welcome / from you to me.

  • stars on earth, the path to home
    by Kristin Reynolds

    I hear whispers through sunlight / leaves signing / in the language of wind, / to the beat / of a fluent heart. Secrets spoken / between …

    Another Earth song; for those who are between.

  • I just couldn't do it..
    by JaNae Boswell

    I just couldn’t do it / When I felt you kick in my womb / You hit softly against my palm / When I was waiting in the doctors room

    I really like to write about things that are deep, that some people dont like to write about. If anyone has followed my work they would see that. I decided to write this because I have always had a split view on abortion and have never really picked a side because I’ve never been in that position. I think about my mother and when she was pregnant with me. If she had gotten an abortion I wouldn’t be here today..I really dont know what I would do if in that position but this poem however is for the mothers out there that have been and just couldn’t do it…
