The Pen is Mightier than the Sword

so tiny

so perfect to look at

every finger a miniature of my own

 

but they say you are different

they say you may not live

something is wrong behind those beautiful eyes

 

baby in a plastic box

looking out through a maze of wires and tubes

yet still even so small you smile and coo

 

years later and i look into those same eyes

a child in a man's body

but still you smile and melt my heart

feels his heart lurch and skip a beat at the first two stanzas, all the flashback memories evoked.

 

Continues reading and finds the darkness dispelled.

 

Really reached out and grabbed me. Thank you for posting it.

Very nice, Wren! I was especially struck by the lines in the third stanza:

 

"baby in a plasic box

looking out through a maze of wires a tubes"

 

They're especially emotional imagery and very effective given your theme. :)

 

You ... uh... might want to take a look at your spelling and typos again, though. 'miniature' : 'plastic' : 'wires and tubes' Heh. Don't mind me, I'm the local grammar and spelling stickler. :P
