A Mother Rain.

Two puddles expand
By the pathway,
By the gate,
It catches my eye;
I slow my pace.

Each tiny drop
Brings each puddle nearer
To the other, yet still
I can't see any clearer.

For a second at least,
The rain seems to hang,
Suspended mid-air,
As I stretch out my hand,

Palm facing upwards,
I squint to the clouds,
The rain starts again,
Though makes little sound,

I can see your rays,
They're there straight away,
Breaking through black,
Glittering the grey,

I take a breath,
You're here, and it feels
as though each tiny drop
Has the power to heal.

Hair all a-tangle,
Clothes all sodden,
I gaze down the path,
Battered and trodden,

But it's right on this path
That your angel-rays shine,
And I smile, for we know
That it shall be just fine,

The rain won't just stop,
The clouds shall still loom,
But when I look to the puddles,
There are no longer two,

Each drop the sky poured,
They drank, and they grew,
It brought them together,
To share reflections of you.

Your light shines out now
Not from two seperate parts,
But more bright and more clear,
In one union of hearts.

I Promise.

My heart is crossed
And I hope to live
To be there for your son
To love him & give
All of the things
You know he deserves
That you're trusting me with
Through unspoken words
It was always you,
the only one,
who knew just how much
I love your son,
I'll take good care of him
and,
though you're gone,
I'll never forget
Your acceptance and love

Constellations of Us

I shall take the time,
Each second, a star
And shape each one
Then throw it far

Soon minutes shall form
Then hours, then days,
Quaint constellations
Amongst midnight haze

Each one, my dear
A part of me
My heart's creation;
our dynasty

I shall take the time
And make it our own
A future shaped from stars;
Heart-felt and Heart-grown.

There's a daisy out there
With perfect petals
The perfect number
To land just right
If I had happened to find this flower
All of her petals would have fallen tonight,
Yes, All of her petals,
In order,
Tonight.

Tummyache

I had
5 packets of quavers
And 1 packet of wotsits
Just before bed.

Then i woke
Wondering, strangely, why
My tummy ached.

Silly Bekah.

Find Me

One day, it may be
That I find myself beneath a tree,
And as raindrops tumble,
And my tummy rumbles.
There you might find me.

One day, it may go
That i find myself knee deep in snow,
My scarf wrapped twice,
Taking notes about ice,
There you might find me.

One day, it may seem
That i find myself cradling my tea,
Hands clasped tight,
Dreams taking flight,
There you might find me.

One day, it may be true,
That suddenly, amongst your wonderful blue
In me something stirs,
But I shan't speak a word,
That day, I may just find you.

Song of Erasmus Darwin

Whilst the flowers sleep
They are breathing
Little hearts
Rooted in the Earth

Their petal limbs
Open wide
An embrace toward
Maternal love

They know, the plants
Their slience is wise
Their muscles don't ache
Their hearts open wide.

They wake, they breathe
They flex, they lean
They give, they recieve,
They sleep, they dream.

A secretion of the earth
Life-form organic
I, Erasmus
Believe in this planet.
