About the Poem
Although this poem is about what losing my little girl did to me, it could well speak for any parent. Through talking to others, I have discovered that my feelings are quite universal. But few people write about it. Why? Writing can be very healing.

But all I have to say is your expression is truly amazing, congratulations ,you get my vote!

The Kidnapping |
| by Rosemary J. Gwaltney |
|
And when the great dark hand stretched out its claws Devouring her girl-child, six years old - yet Wet-winged and tender, dew-damp and dear; A rupture of her deepest Spirit's core Triggered molten lava rivers - Thickly churning down the steep Imperial mountains of her years of devotion. Burning ravaging scars across wide Wilderness valleys of hideous new emptiness. Cooling and hardening, imprisoning her Solidly beneath the crust. |
