There is a life

by Stephanie Naylor   Jul 24, 2007


A mother staggers
and falls to the hard forest floor

panting
her chest rising and falling

She knows its about to happen
and she cant for it to be over

then everything vanishes from her sight
seconds maybe minutes later

she awakens to the sound of
a deapening quiet

she looks are hurriedly looking
for her baby

she searches and searches
and she finds her by a small bush

the mother sidles up to
her baby and whispers

there is a life
of which we both share

you are in mine and
i am in yours

you are mine and mine only
i will treasure you even in my life after death

you are life's greatest treasure
and my little fawn.

    Charming. While adorable and cute, the poem was insightful and provocative in terms of family relations and life itself. Nice one.
