SAFE...secure
Safe cradles
Suckling maternal warmth
Wrapped in bliss
Cocooned!...
SAFE....hopefully
Blissful ignorance
bountiful innocence
Blooming child
Protected...
SAFE…thankfully
A distant lamp sparks
Hope to a racing heart
Darting out of a portentous pounce
Relief...!

Children should feel safe, but are they? Hope is all we have. Nice to meet you.
ReplyDeletelove the progression of thoughts that accompany SAFE in each heading here. The stanzas within each heading are really nicely put together as well, cocooned, protected, relief. Each has this natural build to it, really enjoyed that a lot. thanks
ReplyDeletenice tension in this....that light at the end (of the tunnel) does bring with it relief...i would hope that all could find that bit of safety...nice progression in this...
ReplyDeleteI agree on the child's innocence & protection ~ Thanks for sharing your thoughts ~
ReplyDeleteWe all need that feeling of safety, I think.....to believe that our world is a safe place for us. Well expressed.
ReplyDeleteYou capture the concern of parents as life they brought into being progresses. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteFeeling 'safe' is one of the best feelings in the world. And you especially know it when you haven't felt that way.
