Love Builds Up
Poem for Glynn
Love
builds up
cascading one heart
to another
To you
so watchful stilled.
How we would caress
your spirit
in this fragile hour
Dividing hope for
one yet born for
one with life in storm.
Our hands enfold
your two own
pressed in One's
Unwithered
strong-bearing
unspooling worry and untying fear
enough to let
Collect
for you
such sweetness of
Love
as we might build
you shelter
from spring rain.

This is beautiful, Maureen, and speaks our hearts so well ... thank you
Everything I wish I could say. Thank you for speaking for us.
I've gotten 2 hours sleep in the last 48, my emotions are scraped raw, and I find a quiet moment before we reach the birth of a grandchild -- and I see this. I thought I had cried all my tears today. I was wrong. Thank you for this, Maureen.
Perfect. How you do this over and over again -- finding the words that most of us can merely grope for?
Thank you....
(I'm praying too.)
Thank you for these beautiful, comforting words.
I loved all of this, but especially...
unspooling worry and untying fear.
And Glynn... you made me catch my breath with your response.
