Big Beautiful Watery Eyes

Today,
One day before gracing our earth,
For the sixth week,
My little guy cried real,
Salty tears
For the first time.
Sweet little tears,
From my sweet little boy.

Swinging Wonder

This little boy of mine
Swings in slumber

He swings towards the future
Towards the heavens
Towards me.
Always swinging
With arms raised
Sweet little face
Dreaming of whats to come

Maybe in black and white?
Or maybe Technicolor...

The Blog...

For 25 years I've been writing, eon's have I meant to blog, and still it took forever to even be able to check my e-mail daily, let alone keep the same e-address. I've started over 6 myspace pages (half under assumed names) only to let myself forget about them after short periods of time.
My attention span is nil...
It's taken me three days to open this account, post a few pics and make this pretty. It's been left here, open on my desk top under ten other tabs, three open windows a movie or sitcom sharing a screen. Language always on my mind, out my mouth, but hardly ever through my fingertips, feeling slightly anti-social for holding back communication that I lust for as I read around others words. Playing out scenarios in my head of who I'd meet if I'd only try. Continuously.
And for 25 days with my new baby I stare at the screen, and I think - I can do this. I can keep this line open - I can make the attempt and produce something fantastic when I actually take the steps towards that line I've only thought of before. (even if it takes a while)
I learned that from experience. Thanks Averi, you inspire me
