A Child Cried

~~~*~~~

 

 

 

I spied buzzards

Perched on a rooftop

Jostling for position

Patiently waiting

For the shadow lurking

Near the front door

To enter, so be it

A soul expired

Escaping into its

Infinite destination.

 

As a child cried

In an emergency room

For it has been extracted

From the warm loving

Sanctuary

Of a mothers womb

To face the uncertainty

Of a world so cruel.

A life ends a new one begins....it almost seems like a shame to bring an innocent child into this world that's in such a horrible mess! Very deeply moving piece, William.

I cry for the child born
into this world of sin,
but I also cry for love
of a saved one who dies

Lady Vivian, Thanks *William*

oh I LOVE the metaphorical mix here William!!
Warning signs are everywhere, as too is
the possibility for change in the world
one soul at a time...

So very sad.

One goes out, one comes in. It is as it should be. Unfortunately, much more coming in than are going out and that creates a dilemma for the balance of Earth's fragile ecosystem, dependent upon the die back of all species that overpopulate their habitat.
