The Miscarriages
The miscarriages
have no name in this world.
they are all alone ,
faraway and unapproachable.
no one to love and care for them
or
sing them a song.
they are left
to do this
on their own.
never, an identity
had,
or anything
in common with
life or
death.
no mark of
a human touch
or
a footprint
in the snow.
just
stillness
all around.
just a silent voice
echoing in
my mind………

So Sad
Linda,
This piece carries sadness not only for the souls that never made it but also for the Mothers who couldn't carry them full term.
Sobering stuff,
Pete

Dave
Yes, a difficult write..but
Dave, This is my second poem on this topic. sometimes i just start to think about it and get sad.....so its been nice to be able to let it out this way now. i never had this outlet before. {i only starting writng poetry 6 months ago.}
thank you dave for your kind words about this.
i appreciate it.

Linda
You had me crying Linda....
Its about time too......I lost my unborn child just 4 months ago and I tried not to make a big deal of it, what you wrote just let me know Im not just beling dramatic by thinking so much of this lost soul of mine....the baby was a potential gift that just got mishandled on the way.....thank you for the beautiful post.....peace.
Dear Repenter86
I am so sorry for your loss. I totally understand what you're going through and it's not easy. i did the same thing as you and tried not to make a big deal of it. but i thought about the baby so much and i still do. its a mothers instinct to do so...and i like thinking about my babies. they should be thought about . They were and are "real."
That was years ago and i just started writing about them now {i had 3 miscarriages along the way, but i have 2 beautiful healthy boys, now}
my doctor recomended i start writng about it cuz every year around the due date i would get sad,,,so this year i wrote. and oh my God, it was amazing to let it all out. I have my first one posted , "i loved you" its called, if you want to read that too.
so sorry again for your loss of your baby.
peace right back to you
love,
Linda
thanx so much.....
I wish I had ur courage to write about it.....every time I tried, I'd choke and would become lost for words.....I suppose its still early days and I think I just really didnt expect it......My squishy delicious daughter gave me a very difficult pregnancy but we both pulled thru...I guess I thought that I could get away with it again but God is the best of planners.
Im fighting my tears since last night and I think Im gonna pluck up some courage and write about it.....at the end of the day, poetry has cured all my other pains and trials in life.....so that answeres it I guess.....thanks for the inspiration and plz keep an eye out for a post about my loss......peace
repenter
i will keep an eye out for your poem. but if it doesnt come to you right away, dont worry, someday it will.
maybe it is a bit early as you said.
the best part is , you have your beautiful {squishy, cute} daughter.
and our kids remind us how very precious life really is.
peace,
Linda
So sad
Its sad to think of what could have been but its good that your able to use poetry as a way to release those feelings to create such a beautiful poem ! "feelings are better said, than locked away in your head"
Rosie
Dear dear rosie...
You ARE amazing still to me at such a young age to know all you know! i love that about you. Thank you for your kind words and everything you said is so true. especially about the "feelings are better said, than locked away in your head" i LOVE that line. did you make it up?
thanks Rosie girl!!!
Linda
Your Always So Kind ...
Your are always so kind and thats what i like about you !! yes i did make it up it lol my random lines i like to quote !
Always a fan !
Rosie
Linda, I know the feeling...
I lost my first, the fetus - not more than cells at that time - was not ready to be born, so God took him (or her) home. It was hard, but luckily I had a healthy son in just a few years. I guess many women experience this, and you are lucky to be able to express your feelings about it. Another very fine poem.
joyce
yes, youre right
joyce, alot of women do experience this. but dont talk about it enough. thats why writing has helped me.
im sorry for you loss too, joyce. thank you for mentioning it to me. and thank you for your kind comments. i always enjoy them.
