A Mother’s Heartbreak - Snippets, Mini Collage
By gossamergypsy
A child, your child, committing violence is heartbreaking. It is considered controversial and at times thought to be impossible by loved ones, but children are capable of devastating acts.
Sometimes violence is accidental due to the child’s inability to understand consequences. In other instances it can be caused by experience/exposure to the harshness of violence. It has also been perceived that violence (or violent individuals) emerge as part of Nature’s rhythms. In any instance, the security of innocence is lost.

A child’s innocence lost, and the mother’s perhaps innocent white petals stained by an act of her progeny.
Haunting, I smell Greek tragedy. Nicely done.
