A Wilderness of MirrorsI wake up in a room full of mirrors,
a funhouse of distortion
where reality is blurred.
I gasp, for in one of the mirrors,
I see a young version of me—
rocking and singing a lullaby
to my newborn baby girl,
with a full head of dark hair.
By my side, a little boy with blue eyes and blond hair—
a million-dollar family.
Sighing...

My children, your births kept me on my kneesTo all my children, may you please be aware!
I don't always show it, but I will always care.
Each of you have been a great gift to me.
Your births made this man happy as can be.
Each came to this world in a very unique way.
Causing me to humble, seek God and to pray.
I'd like to share...

Memento on the MoonLunar alabaster
gleams beneath the void
The infant’s mind is carved in stone
Neural patterns branch like frost
across the barren surface
Face recognition
etched in marble relief
The first spark of knowing
Sound waves frozen into rings
echo mother's silent song
Small fingertip grooves
map first touch sensation
then the human footprints vanish, art remains...

ENJOY THOSE BABY FEET
There are many perks to working in a bookstore…
There’s the books, the music playing in the background…
the wide variety of people I get to meet….
but one unexpected but welcomed perk…are all those baby feet.
Parents enter with their babies in strollers…and it’s the parents’ faces I first greet…
but before I see the baby’s face…dangling out in...

HeartbeatWe heard your heartbeat,
The sound of a strong heart,
They gave me pictures of you,
And I couldn’t help but smile.
Day by day you grow,
You get stronger every day,
We can’t wait to finally meet you,
I long to hold you in my arms.
We don’t know what gender you are,
But we’re ready to love you,
We’re getting your room ready,
And...

350,000 BABIES
350,000 are babies born each day across our planet Earth.
They look to us, their parents and adults,
to give their hopes and dreams and wishes birth.
To teach them how to use their voice to communicate…
their ears to listen and their eyes to truly see…
To teach them how everyone deserves their love
their respect, their compassion, their...

Grandma Adopts a BabyI adopted a baby grandma said
Who would let that old woman adopt?
They’d have to be wrong in their head
We did not run over there, we thought it was a lie
It has to be right? Said Dorothy, Buddy and Di.
But believe it or not, she adopted a fellow.
Knit him blankets and booties all in soft yellow
An...

My ChoiceThey said you’d never survive,
That there were complications with the pregnancy,
They told me it would be painful,
Yet they made you stay in my womb.
They said there was nothing they could do,
That you were too weak,
They knew they couldn’t save you,
But that they could save me.
There used to be a choice for me,
But I don’t have...

Aaro and The Bird"How does it feel” asks Aaro,
"to ride these currents of air?"
"Like dancing with invisible partners,"
the bird sings back.
"See how mountains
wear clouds like soft crowns"
"They look like sleeping giants,"
whispers Aaro.
"Rivers below us wind
like silver serpents," calls the bird.
"Threading through valleys
like thoughts through dreams."
"Why do humans build walls
when the sky has none?" asks the bird.
"We create boundaries...

Seed in the DarkLotus flowers grow from black mud.
This is what Aaro sees,
standing at the edge of a
pond full of lotuses in the garden.
Beauty rises from darkness.
Pink petals open above murky water,
green leaves spread
like hands on the surface.
The roots know secrets
the flowers will never tell,
how strength comes from
places without light or colour.
What was buried...

Painted SnakeAaro stands still and sees
a snake among green leaves.
What she thinks, she becomes,
her eyes wide as new moons.
The painted snake moves without moving,
its path already chosen.
"I can make things real too,"
whispers Aaro to herself.
Each day she plants a thought
like a seed in dark soil.
Each night she waters it
with dreams that never sleep.
The snake found its...

Baby You're a FireworkSudden sound of rushing water
A mighty roaring wind
Carrying a flame of fire
It settled upon me, flowing over me
As a baptism in silent seas
A moment of stillness lasting a lifetime
Filing me with the heady warmth of fine wine
An overwhelming feeling of love and peace
Boiled over from my eyes, dripping salty tears
Then I knew
The earnest search
The...
