A poem

My soul is

A sheltering tree

It wants to protect those

Who are truly innocent

*

His soul is

As wide as the sky

It wants to see the world

Heal of its ruptures

*

Individual trauma

Collective suffering

Fire, famine, flood

Walking hand in hand

*

We may not yet be parents

But we feel the call–

We are all children here

Born to nurture each other

    I love this. We’re all human on this madly spinning rock… we’re far less separated than we realize.

    Indeed, top work and beautiful message!! 😊👏

  • We are all children here, born to nurture each other. This was so powerful! The world would be a much better place if we just be kind to each other and help where we can. Loved your poem!

    Your words are like a window into the depths of your soul.

  • If the two of you are anything like what you've just expressed above, you are well matched & together will make a wonderful difference in the lives of your children & all those with whom you come in contact both near & far. BTW, my wife's hairdresser, Joelle, says, "Hi." I told her about your article on your name & she's going to try & find it on Vocal.
