All the ruptures I wished to shout, illuminate

All that I paid with pain and grew in peace

Come, dear child
Soar high with me
Toward zestful freedom…

Haunted by loss-angst that once gripped my heart
I couldn't defy my soul's crying shout:
"My coin... down the storm drain... gone forever!"
Acquainting me with treasure-loss despair.

Missing first slot for scholarship-honour
I felt that "gone forever" was my chance
Torturing my mind as a young learner
Jeopardizing my aim to...

“He’ll progress toward retrogression…”
such was neuro-pediatrician's lamentable diagnosis
grievous… torturous life sentence!
What a woeful condemnation...
...yet marvelous life’s persistence
our special child should never miss
while enjoying love’s wondrous bliss.

Though he is epileptic
midst gestures obviously spastic
his disposition --- jubilant
radiates cheerfully triumphant.

With thanksgiving gesture’s delight
marking faith of ascending height
he shows...

The dream that calls me,
I can`t sleep...
And break all this
For travelling
Go through the darkness, Wind & snow
Follow new sunbeam...

To find the music
Of my soul
With the heartbeat
In unison
I know: my ship
Keeps right direction 
To my dream!

The tailwind,
Rushes ship on full speed,
And soon I see 
Familiar pier
What...

I traveled back in flashes. . .  
A rapid retrogression of life’s events,
backwards through this blare 
into the depths of time. . . 
arriving at that faraway and mystical
sphere of an untainted pre-existence,
the place I’d once believed all hearts
would yearn to be could they...

ANTICHRISTIC BOUND:

So many questions spilled, 
Because of how this place feels.
Seemly blame who for such beal,
And what's the rationale for thus built?
It's spiritually a proposed deal,
So not assumed to cause strong thrills.
But is it right, somehow sad or ill, 
For the passage of these detestable...

A turning point with
advantage of 20/20 hindsight
identifies severe dislocation
birthing emotional plight
intervening years since psyche wrenched
by rather innocuous event at first sight

exaggerated haunting shadows
sparred illuminated by dim backlight,
now conviction hammered home startdate
coffin unwittingly nailed airtight
death of spontaneous bright
eyed bushy tailed

spunkiness extinguished
gored me lifeless,
asper bloodless bullfight
all entrails...

Diagnosed with cerebral palsy blight
To progress toward retrogression strain
Our special child was spastic day and night
Struggling along restlessness’ grievous pain.

His global developmental delay
Marked by seizures that caused wearying shake
Made us constantly alert all the way
Aiding him, compassionately awake.

He is now fourteen, showing milestone leap
Driving wheelchair...
