Grief's Knife

  "

"... only a moment did you stay but you left a footprint in my life"
 
                                                             Quote by _Constance

My son was growing within me,
until, he struggled to be free:
he cried but once and then nonlife,
and I felt the pain of grief's knife;
and like that his soul was set free !

Karen Jones October 21, 2023 at 12:46 PM I feel the angst of your beautiful soul in this poem. As a mother we cradle life in our womb. It is unfathomable to loose a baby so soon. I think this is a courageous write. So many feel this pain without tools to express which you have. I love the perspective and title as well. Hugs Best wishes in the contest!
