I dreamt that I met you smiling
long before you were born
that I told you in sweet loving
to the moon and back we’ll go
that we held hands briefly soaring
seeking the beauteous moonscape
we traversed stars in the milky way
in meteorite showers of gold we played
we walked along dazzling moon beams
silken threads our carpets in space
too soon you left me in wonderment
life’s cord cut a spiraling empty place
& you sped quickly down to earth
faster even than Halley’s comet
that day I finally saw your birth
I remembered our dance among stars
marveled at so much of me in you
that your hands held stardust imbued

This is in response to Jamie Dede’s Wednesday writing prompt. You can read more at https://jamiededes.com/2017/03/22/if-the-man-in-the-moon-had-a-voice-a-poem-and-your-wednesday-writing-prompt. Perfect timing as my newest great grandchild was born yesterday. Klaudya Charlotte Anne weighed in at 7.7lbs and was 19in long.

The poem I just wrote for Kali took a similar spin…out there in the cosmos. Lovely, Renee, babies inspire sweet words.

Thanks Gayle! I am enjoying their company when I go out to visit and help during my daughter’s recovery process after her surgery.

Sorry to be so late to respond, Renee, but I’m apparently on another sabbatical from writing very much. Nice to hear that you’re able to pitch in and get to cuddle those tiny grandchildren of yours. 🙂
