Ephemeral Safe
cuddled under covers
legs tucked tight against
small soft me
trying to find safe
as it fluttered some-
where?
years ran as the river
will a babe swelled my
belly and for a sacred
time a bubbled im-
penetrable and clear
kept us within -
stretching past birth
and feedings and
cuddles over covers
and toddles and hugs
filagreed years of safe
landed bouncing on our
bubble until it popped
and the icy dread of all
that could and was out
there flooded the sense
of me - found it peeking
around the corners of
academia, breathed on
pages of scholarship -
flitted over friendships
of wine and important
discussions - hung
almost there over marches
and banners, manifestos
and proclamations of
change and hope and
then .. and then... tsunamis
and sweet seas morphing
murderous and ice caps
melting, and safe ran on
pounding legs across the
globe and in its place
spiraled a pronged
corona to sit upon
heads and as knees
on necks and hatred
unleashed gallops
red-eyed and foaming
safe floats
ephemeral
and yet
there
some
where?

Wpw, this is amazing, Pearl. I made the same journey - the safe years with small children when we could protect them, the years when we couldnt. And who could have known how dangerous the world would be one day? Thanks for stopping by to read my poem and for your lovely comment. Hope you are staying safe and that those you love are safe as well.
ReplyDeleteI loved reading your Blog 💜. I have experienced the opening and closing of the heart or spiritual heart and message center. And have been releasing many testimonies that have been helpful and still were held in my heart. I have been writing and posting up over this past month and in it's help a lot of people with their health problems and have come greater expressions of love and compassion for myself and others. I found that these past testimonies that I have been posting at the time of mine get more attention in these blogs on information about herbal treatment of Dr Itua. I had no idea they were still being a hell of sick people around the world till the deep posting began and they came into awareness.
