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
