Diaphanous, yet
Intricately filigreed, like
Secrets etched in fine stained glass,
The thought of you is
Raspberry apricity—
A dream so colorful, I
Can’t resist
The need to chase the part of us we lost.
I wait—without an
Ounce of focus for my waking world—
For .:y o u:., my Nonpareil,
Should Heaven soon defrost.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

What beautiful words 😁
Gina, I love your new ideas for your range of poems etc.
Very lovely! I only knew nonpareil as a type of candy. How intriguing that it applies to a type of person, and how quickly the nonpareils in my life came to mind! Well done!
Oh this was beautiful you have a masterful vocabulary
This was definitely a sweet poem, love it 😍
simple, yet packed with imagery. Love it! (also I looked up, like, four words lol)
Love the poem and thank you for the definitions😁
As you know, I'm already a huge fan of Gina Signature and as of now, sign me up for the Gina Petite Fanclub! My favourite line was the need to chase the part of us we lost. Also, as I was reading the poem, I Googled the meaning of Diaphanous, Nonpareil and Empyrean only to find out you've so kindly provided us the meaning, and pronunciations! So grateful for that!
Love these delicate words
"Gina Petite" is such a great name! This was a wonderful poem, as always!
This line is racing around in my head "Secrets etched in fine stained glass," Such a powerful and sublimely brilliant poem!
