The Giant's Garden: How Does it Happen?

Monday, June 22, 2009

Not a letter spoken

But all said and done

How does it happen?

MOTHER AND BABY

It just exists

And yet She knows

Its highs and lows

Wheres, Whys and Hows

Its like, it was always known

When it requires

A hug, a smile, a touch

Or just a frown

Not a letter spoken

But all said and done

How does it happen?

SIBLINGS

Parents are taking their case

They just glance and smile

Time to quit their race

They’re playing win-win…

Not a letter spoken

But all said and done

How does it happen?

BROKEN HEARTS

Discomfort between them

Questions unasked

Reasons unanswered

Yet they know,

When life bugs

They’ll be there

For solace, help

or just a hug

Not a letter spoken

But all said and done

How does it happen?

ON THE ROAD

I’m driving on crossroads

And he comes in speed

I slow down, to pay him heed

He slows further, asks me to proceed…

Not a letter spoken

But all said and done

How does it happen?

The Happy Prince
