Breath of Love

Within each heave grows mild a tender sight
That follows your beat through the hem of night
Where I become a whisper of moon’s delight
To cuddle each sigh and bestow warm rest...
From pricked hours, from low days that arrest
A  loss of serenity far from grace
My breath of love wraps you in sweet embrace.

Cracks of the heart are like youth’s brittle wear
Rupturing hope as eyes weep, oh daughter
The betrayal of friends, in shadows, tear 
And wrenching the edged grasses as you pass by
Down lonely road seemingly far yet nearby...
Bring then my note's whiff, one step at a time
To hum afresh life's interludes sublime.

Dear Nette, I'm in awe of this emotional write, I had to read it twice, love your loving feeling that you've infused within these devotional lines of yours, the emergence of imagery and detail is completely obsobing, you drew me in and shared so much of yourself with me the reader, simply brilliant work here, I'm thrilled with the read today, and I'm glad I stopped by to read your recent work cheri

Watching the one you give birth to -- their first breath . . . first hurt, first love . . . you captured the essence of a mother's love. 7
