On Seeing An Infant's Photograph* Poem by indira babbellapati
On Seeing An Infant's Photograph*
what enchanting lands
are let loose behind
those eyes?
the smile tells me
several stories of
those far away lands
that have been
so much part of your world, now
my first lesson to you, my love
lose not that smile
filling your world and mine
with bliss unbound
come what may
my second lesson to you, my love
when stress and strain
wears you down
close those eyes
just as you do now
even for a wink
to revisit those lands
of your blissful infancy
for revival and rejuvination...
*a wonderful photograph with a unique smile on the infant's face... Thomas Horton's 'First Lesson'

from brett ackerman: You're tapping in on pure emotion and soul, Indira. Your motherly instincts have taken over on this one. When you connect with a face young or old, there's an innate unspoken language all it's own that a poet realizes as you have done here. 9/23/2009 03: 41
A beautiful story written with love and purpose. It is sweet, pure and touched my heart so much. 10 love Karin
wonderful poem, as innocent as an infant's smile, and as deep as the godliness behind it's closed eyes. loved this poem ma'am. reminds me of Tagore's thought- each newborn child is an indication that god has not lost hope in humanity. thank you.
a calming effect not only on the infant but also to the readers.thanks ma'am.
A real good description of infant's innocence n beauty.......!
