Ghost children : Original Poem & Photo

In a dream I rushed to hug you! 

I held your small body and cried out. 

I didn’t know you existed!

I was so utterly sorry for not being there earlier! 

You needed a father and I had not known of you! 

I wept and held you. 

Sobbing for what you endured 

Without me 

What I’d missed. 

Promising to never let you go 

I picked you up from the floor. 

As I held you 

I woke up crying. 

Never had a dream left me in tears. 

Never 

My tears flowed to you all morning.

I miss you! —dago 

*In the broken & mirrored footsteps of William Blake's "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell." I try to combine my own created images with short and often dark pithy stories that slightly shimmer of joy. I am Mar, a.k.a Dago. Follow me @history4me2

*Inspired from a dream in which I woke up crying.
