A different kind of miracle

[ilookalikeadragon]

Unaware of his surroundings,
yet deep inside he screams
about the world around him,

he continues on,
with no care in the world,
going with what he thinks

he knows. Stares all around him
pointing and laughing
at him, the ridicule begins

yet never ending. He can’t
see, his world is still
bright as it once was

and those around him
will never see the beauty,
the miracle hidden

underneath, and in a dark room
among the walls,
is the mother of a miracle

and upon her cheeks, tears
flow beautifully,
stricken with pain

Enjoyed your peice greatly, keep up your thoughts of writing... kind regards. Duncan Williams.

sweet & moody at the same time.

apart from the "he knows." part (which i dont understand) the rest is insightful i think.

he knows. Stares all around him
pointing and laughing
at him, the ridicule begins

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting
The soul that rises with us, our life's star
Hath had elsewhere its setting
And cometh from afar:
Not in entire forget fulness,
And not in utter nakedness
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God who is our home.
(Wordsworth)

Thanks, I enjoyed this one.

Loved this one I L L a D. In spite of not "painting pictures", I thought you captured the mood very well. It made me think of my son who has autism, but it could apply to all sorts of situations and people - universal appeal. I found the disjointed way the verses were arranged made for difficult reading though, but there may be some reason behind your layout.
Liked the last two stanzas best.....heart-wrenching....really good. Hope you'll keep posting and go to town on descriptive stuff.

Thanks for this.
Mick.

Hi,
captured the moment well i thought.
But would she be sticken with pain?

And yes the mother would be seem insignificant as focus would be on the new born, VG, AC.
