A4. Between Two Heartbeats

The silence between us, within us, the beating of our hearts — I let it flow and listen to the moments in between, when words fall silent, and we simply are, just spirit, here and now.

So precious are the moments in which we are — dreams, fleeting, beats in unison, love’s soft song.

You. Me. I love you.

Growing Up and Out

My mother My miracle mother My beautiful kind smart mother

Who held me in her womb, her arms, her heart Taught me to say please and thank you And I love you and I hate you

Now I go walking alone, driving alone With my thoughts and hers

I work so hard to leave her Day in and day out I pray I don't burden my miracle mother

But I know that even after all of these years, No one will ever soothe me in the same way

Poppies

Imagine a field of dead poppies, With a dead sun overhead, Imagine a field of dead poppies, Each petal freshly bled.

Imagine a field of dead poppies, And a bench sitting by the side, Sitting with a view of the poppies Whose memory never died

And in a few days' time, Nothing but bare barren earth, Lest we forget their death, Death for a new world’s rebirth,

Imagine a field of wild flowers, There where the poppies once fought, Imagine a field of wild flowers, Where poppies were once cut short.

I hope you enjoyed this late remembrance day poetry, and if you did be sure to like and check out my blog for more (Fred's Poetry Journal link here).
