Emmy, My Love
by Emily Hanlon
I wrote these poems after the journey we took at my workshop, Creativity, the Journey Home, in April 2006.
Emmy, My Love
Are you the darling twin I have longed for all my life?
Have I sought myself inside myself,
not knowing
I am
my own true love?
Who were we when we did not know,
when fear strangled words,
and sorrow dimmed the song?
What visions did we seek, together alone?
I lay you down in the heart of the Mother Bear.
There, in the soft warm flesh
I give you birth.
Self unto Self, Emmy, my love.
I am.
Walk with me now
in sweet days of innocence.
I give you comfort,
you give me joy.
Emmy 2
I throw you high into the air.
Wheeee!
You twirl, laugh free.
The words come.

this is really a neat poem.
when I was a kid of seven I always knew I had an identical twin, and she lived in europe somewhere.
and I would grow up and find her.
we were exactly alike
and someday we would meet.
I would find her.
what visions did we seek, together alone. neat.
I lay you down in the heart of the Mother Bear.
There, in the soft warm flesh
I give you birth.
Self unto Self, Emmy, my love
I am. lovingly.
I give you comfort,
you give me joy. unity
as I have been saying this blog is neat.
again goodnight
doris.
