Returned
Under the cover of moon the child crept
in clandestine hope - to snatch lost love
from those
waves seen crashing over her pair of
petulant parents
To lift the buried box of lies from
sticky clay
To rend apart sealed serious lips
To seek and find the Angel Hope tossing
sparkling moon-lit smiles
To catch an armful and run on soft silent soft bare soles
back home under the cover of moon - soft-
night
To find, to return and to fix in forever-place her parents’
drifting, floating, fragmented all but filamented
love ….
and bask blissful in the dawn, soaked in the
the rising pure peals of her parents’ joined joyous laughter.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful wistful piece about love, loss and trying to recover!
ReplyDeleteLovely, Pearl. I feel the longing and determination. Also feel the cover of moon-soft-night.
ReplyDeleteShe's making her own magic to soothe her soul. This is so beautiful, Pearl.
ReplyDeleteI wonder how she did that - she needs to teach other kids how to restore their parents' laughter. Great write, Pearl!
ReplyDeleteThis is had a dream like quality..where you are running to make real what is not..or vice versa..urgent..necessary..
ReplyDeleteThere is such sadness here where a child is deprived of the love all children deserve. Hope is hers and everyone's ally as a childhood so precious is stuck in the clay of longing.
ReplyDeleteGosh, so grateful never to have had these experiences.
