dr_con Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 A Thought for David Paolo Castrillon born June 2nd 2009 to Holly and Fernando You can't outsmart Truth or outrun its consequence Power and Priests fear birth ordinary people seeing beyond the lies of Self and Other not a replication of parents or a simple inheritance, bigger than an articulation of emptiness A solid form denying loneliness separation and radical isolation a Depth, terrifyingly familiar proof once and for all that we belong.

Tinker Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 This is is very wise and beautifully crafted. A touching gift for a newborn. I hope someday he will read and understand your words. ~~Tink Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to Tinker1111@icloud.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhymeguy Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Another interesting and provacative piece. At first I stumbled over the idea of power and priest fearing birth but you quickly defined this fear. I clearly see how the breathtaking experience of a newly born life would evoke the thoughts herein. Well crafed and smoothly presented. rg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyv Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 Well done, Dr. Con. You seized the moment and produced a meaningful gift that lasts. My own niece and nephew were baptised/christened the other day, and I would have liked to have written a poem for the occasion, but the idea came to me too late.

dr_con Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 Thanks Tinker, RG, Tony! Appreciate the feedback- The least I could do- Fernando wrote the introduction to my new book of Poetry (The Heaping up of Small Things) available before the end of the month;-) Much Grace!
