Infants Remembered In Silence (IRIS) - Poems

Divus

I loved
the quiet time I spent
when every heart beat
you had sent
to my flesh
and to my skin
flowed forth to bring
me peace within
your silent womb,
…I loved the silent time.

And even as
my tiny heart
labored at death’s call
before my start
at birth and life,
and as I ailed,
soon no longer
to inhale
or feel your pulse to mine,
…I loved the quiet time.

My body now
apart from yours,
still lives, yet not
upon your shores,
and suffers not
nor is in pain
for within
its new domain
I can love the quiet time.
…I loved the quiet time.

Divus is the Latin expression for a Godlike.
