Who knew
when love first entangled
that rapture yields both
blessing and anguish?
Anticipated joy
dashed by disability,
disease, dread,
death.
Watching beloved baby
suffer
and the love that begat
all the suffering
lies so tangled
in anguish
that it’s difficult to
find it at all.

Just pondering some sad responses to sick kids. Some pull tighter together, but some are torn apart.
Another beautiful set of words Shawn. Thanks for sharing.

Wow. I’m reading your work again after a long time, and I’m so impressed by what I’m reading. I feel like these newer pieces do your talent better justice, and with more regularity, than I saw before.
Thanks- I do feel like I’m getting better. There’s something to the idea that practice brings improvement (if not perfection). 😉
