What  child ?

   I Am  Borne
      Before During & After 
Always
   & Forever 

Why  Child ?

   Yes ,  Speak and receive .
Every Step Begins .

   As pollen upon the 
                wind 
Unforgotten as rains
   drench the reaching
            upstart .
And cries above ending
   find a sky full of Life

                                                        ......................

  2. Poetry to me always speaks to the heart, to the mind, to the fragile sensibilities of the most vulnerable, a baby, a child, a young woman, humanity in general. I read this poem but saw my niece, a baby and my elderly father who is eighty years old. I spend the majority of my time with them these days. I think a poem is written to make us think and feel and mostly, to remember. To remember things past and what came before.

    My favourite lines were: As pollen upon the/wind/Unforgotten as rains/drench the reaching/upstart/And cries above ending/find a sky full of/Life. In my own poetry, I have been writing for over four decades now, I like to include nature in my poetry and love to read other poets who do the same. This poem was relevant, topical and captivating, a combination of humanity and flora, human nature and Mother Nature. It is the instinct of the poet to heal and to write about matters and the vulnerabilities of the heart.
