It came
while sitting at the table, writing
that shudder
cloaked in folds of warmth
and
pulsing light
a triumphant
twirl
that claimed
my body
for
life
And I felt you
Until then
I certainly knew
of
you
For I had been
carving out
space
in my deepest places
where your
heart
might find its rhythm
and
your limbs could make
silent ripples
But
it was in that moment
that the universe tilted
towards joy
and I smiled
knowingly
And now
there is this
swelling
rising
fantastic
growing
And you are always
before me
now
My walk is a bit slant
these days
proof that the angels
touched my hip
and I am
overcoming
And my face splits
with grace light
as I create
with God
Yes
I know you
little one
You are mine
