Birth
The kicks, hiccups and movement
The ambiguous feelings
The intimate knowing
All a foreshadow of who you are
Eyes of the sea
Or as an ebony night
Hair bright as the sun
Or as a shadow below
All we know is your name
That you come as we have all before
All we know is you’re ours
That you are a part of the life we begun
Belonging, but not contained
Held, but not controlled
Unique, yet linked
Known, yet a mystery
Seasons change
Life begins and ends
We are but a vapor
Yet the love lasts forever
Do not be afraid
The odd, the strange and familiar
We are destined to be a part
Death and life, simply seasons
Till our eyes meet
When you know you are safe
Till I know who you are
You are fully loved even now
For this is birth
A death of what was
The beginning of something new
Let us anticipate with great expectation
The birth of you, of us, of we
Enter into the birth of all that will be
And has been
Life.
