Even through stillness
like a wall between us
I felt the rhythmic
heaving of your body,
and like my first born
I knew your cry...
How many sounds
from the crying child?
I counted five:
Pain
Fear
Anger
Sorrow
and one I had yet to come to know...
Really moving and simple Rachel. There is always a depth to your work that gives it substance.

Hi Martin,
Thanks so much for your kind comment--I'm glad to know that you read my posts and value your opinion.
Take care,
Rachel
I absolutely love this Rachel, not least in its simplicity but also in what it says. The listing off of emotions in terms of crying is great
Love it

Hi David,
It is so hard to witness the grief of a loved one, knowing there's little or nothing you can do to relieve them.
Good to hear from you and hope you're keeping well--and you too, Colin.
Rachel

I'll take that, Ray--what more could I aspire to?
Thanks, fella.
