[hometext] => During the Holocaust little children were burned in fire pits. This is my tribute for those children.
[bodytext] => Child’s Last Light Salt soaked eyelids sagging Unceasing streams of liquid Tears stained the silk face Painting the terrors of the day Hush my child, I’ll sing you a lullaby Caressing you with the heavenly chorus The ground does not desire anymore sorrow But the stars crave your twinkle Steadily, curtains of skin descend Masking the pain etched into the eyes Lips tremble, uneasy slumber No more teddies, no more light Hush, I’ll bathe your dreams in white Let the skin slide from your shoulders Ease the suffering of physical wounds I’ll mend your broken winged heart to fly Tranquility overtakes the mind Scattered breaths steady to an even beat A rare peacefulness discovered Yet the burning sun shall overtake the night Hush, I’ll cradle your bare heart And fly you to the heaven of stars Laugh as though you’ve never uttered a breath For this shall not last The morning blaze arises chasing the night Ashes of humans piled up into mounds The remains of dreams and lives broken And one little child Hush, my child Hush [comments] => 3 [counter] => 331 [topic] => 55 [informant] => Lainda [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => dedicatedpoems )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
