Birth

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.
