The birth canal has been opened
Labor has begun
Someone is urging, gently nudging
Push, push hard mother
The baby needs to wants to come
*****
With each contraction
A voice as gentle as the wind on a summers ever
Soothing as the full moon that kisses the night sky
Whispers breathe beloved, breathe
****
Another contraction and forward movement
The womb opens even more
Light begins to emerge
barely visible
but with each pang of labor
more and more light is unfold
*****
Soon the contraction will stop
Labor will cease and light
Light in all its glory will come forth
Wrapping mother earth setting her aglow
But for now the journey continues
AS – I - JOURNEY
