Full Circle

The light weighs no more than seven pounds or one hundred,

fuses the two in joint weightlessness,

gifts a vision, transcendent,

reveals what was and is and a voice says, Come.

Question is not asked nor answer given though it hangs

on pillows and white cotton,

a wondering, hopeful question,

am I thus renewed

and the light blinks,

bats eyes in coy allusion,

it is not mine to tell

but lift, with me, this easy burden,

bring your child home.

Written for Mindlovemisery’s Photo Challenge #92 and Haddon Musings’ Senior Salon #3. For some reason, best known to my Kindle browser upgrade, I can’t copy and paste the links. I’ll do that when I fire up my laptop tomorrow – well, today, but I’m going to sleep now. Hope I wake! I hate an unfinished job.

Woke, worked, shopped, still doing, Merry Christmas, not wrapped yet but got the links updated. I call that a score. 😉

  3. Whoa. Beautiful and intense and bittersweet. In a lifetime, the baby will be the great grandmother holding her great-grandchild and so the circle will continue. This one hit me right in my heart. ❤

    This is such an evocative and powerfully written piece, creative content that reaches into the heart of life and its meaning – crafted with insight and a tenderness that is deeply moving. Your choice of words is stunning –

    Question is not asked nor answer given though it hangs
    on pillows and white cotton,

    what a simply incredibly unique phrase – so full of resonance and meaning
