Once Removed Twice In Sight Poem by James McLain

Timeless tears
cry to me in sleep
I weep
on fashions crib
I lay in rags of care
barring mothers
soul the gate to latch
is cold and hungry
wretched child you found.
Deny me once deny me twice
my fate as found
upon your chest in sleep
is fashions gossip do you care?
Once inside this mind she set her care
to me in lullaby so fair
raising breath caring so in sleep
the lost again are found to
beating chest clutched was so to
of me.
Hands of cotton Lilly fragrance eyes of
emerald green she
baths my soul in keep
once removed
she brought me back is twice within her sight.
