The Infant
Coming out of the wildest wind
Clearly Nabraska would be a child
The sun shone, disappeared,
than Wnaea aire eoaana
All on the day you were born,
this earth was shattered more servervily,
than anything it had ever seen”
In shadow or sorrow, in steel and strength,
you became my intelligance, you became my test
Every day I sat you down in the middle of a yard,
that was a medow, and asked you in the evening,
to be the sweet dream of your mother
This was not a dumb mistake within a dream,
you were done on purpose
With work, with war without metaphor, you,
were the eriding through hell for absolution
Your quietness and strength as an a
told me that how far I was away from Honestic life,
I would stay, like a chiefton knowing his tribe,
would be lost, for you, I would stay
There is no glory at the end of a tongue, ,
and I know I talk to much
But I wrapped you with what wisdom I had,
and never has there been a single instant of sadness,
while I guess the hardest part for both of us,
is that I love you still
