picture this- your perspective
The Lost Children
a single shoe by the road
filled with rainwater
soggy with faint smell
of an earthy foot
a little girl picked it up
pour out the water
she looked around
wondering who it belonged to
she ran towards the field
at the other end
where flowers bloomed
and butterflies fluttered around
a little boy stood
picking at flower petals
singing gustily aloud
laughing when butterflies floated by
they looked at each other
tow headed boy black haired girl
shoes forgotten, they held hands
and ran around on the field
they chased fluffy bunnies
played with two squirrels
a little honey bear
a few frogs and a dragon fly
they chatted with a praying mantis
blew bubbles from singing reeds
rolled down the mossy hill
drank nectar from blooms
then they heard a wailing
they saw a boy wrapped
in a black shiny shroud
and someone crying
'don't be sad, Jeremiah
they cried harder when
it was me, that got ran
over by my daddy's car'
the two little shadows
walked slowly away
fading into the night
entering the lights
they heard the laughter
of happy children
playing on a heavenly
playground and they smiled
Jeremiah and Azlina
joined the happy crowd
they no longer hear scary
voices in the night, serving pain
Or felt the horror
of hands pinching and grasping
as they take their pleasure
from pained little bodies.

A Part of Me
I can still remember their little fingers
Their eyes connecting with mine
The times I used to hold them close
Bonding with them through physical touch
They are a part of me
As much as I am a part of them
They are my future and I am their past
They are the extension of my soul and being
I love to put my ear on their chest
And listen to their strong hearts beat
Like the first time all those years ago
Picturing their little hands in mine
They are a part of me
As much as I am a part of them
They are my future and I am their past
As I witness my babies become men
