Babe’s First Graze

He looks to the sky
Tiny eyes glisten in the gleam
Looks away
It’s too bright, all too much,
All too much for tiny eyes
Overload and overspill,
So this, this is real.
He holds her hand and she coos but he’s quiet, all too quiet.
He looks down to his first wound,
No one can make this better,
A three year old has had his eyes ripped wide open.

Oh, the poetry of profound moments.

Reading your poem is like looking at
a Norman Rockewell painting.

So very well done!

Nice to see you back.

thanks,
andy

((((~Chicklet~))))

So good to read you again! (And btw, happy very belated birthday!!)

This is brilliant - the first loss of innocence, when a child realizes what hurt really is....and is inconsolable (and nothing is the same afterward). You rock! Congratulations on Janel's ROTD!!!

~Hugs~
