Deafening Silence

Recently decorated nursery, closed door
Freshly washed baby clothes, unworn
A mother’s love, empty arms
Vacant crib, devastation
Bereavement, the edge of sanity
Deafening silence, melancholy

Warrior Poets

Travelling slowly into the world beyond
Suddenly severed from our physical bond
Entering this world gasping for air
Is this the beginning or the end of our affair?

Bright lights raining down on me
Numerous voices, but where are thee?
Hoisted up; then nestling skin to skin
One journey ends as another does begin

The rhythmic beating of your heart
Poetry in motion heavenly art
Tenderness and joy blends of motherhood
Mother and daughter relationship understood

The Crafter’s Prayer

I wrote this little prayer for those talented ladies and gentlemen of the UK Craft Forum

The Crafter’s Prayer

Our father who art in every industrialist, craft be thy name, thy will be done. The sales will be made online, as well as at the craft fairs. Give us this day our greatest sales, and forgive us our over excitement, as we forgive those who ridicule us, lead us not into deficit, but deliver us to profit in the name of the entrepreneur Dragons Den….. Amen.
