A Sparrow’s Heart: “Big Baby Brother, Little Baby Brother”

Posted on August 10, 2009 by thisnest

 

Big Baby Brother and Little Baby Brother

Together in the Hall of Souls, separated for a time, reunited here by the birth of the younger.

It is said that only the Sparrow can see the soul’s descent from The Guf… into the flesh.

The Sparrow…how ironic.

Big Baby Brother and Little Baby Brother

They waited such a while to complete the coming together of the Sparrows.

Here…Now…Finally…Together

In the flesh…to hold hands, to hold each other up, to hold together…a family.

Only to return someday to the Heaven from where they came,

To be together there

But for now…just precious, sleeping, baby hands

locked together in the comfort of the familiar…

Big Baby Brother and Little Baby Brother.
