A Morning Childbirth

The earth is waking from the short night's rest.
The dark blue sky of milliard shining starts gives way to the coming day.
The jays and crows and thrushes in my garden raise their voices and
rejoice in the freshness of their morning prayer.
Clean dewy fragrance of roses and lilac waft through the air
As the tightness in my belly waved away
A feeling of anticipation whispers in the room
The next contraction brings a sense of purity,
a promise and a possibility.
I hear the tiny drops of rain trickling like a babbling brook
A gush of warm waters spills and makes me wet
I feel carried with it onto soil,
I wash into streams and seep into groundwater.
And in each different medium I change.
My baby is driven and carried along by the flow
A long low moan comes out.
There is a push.
My heart is pounding.
Another push - an ocean wave rushes from the depths
I touch the wrinkled scalp of baby still within me
Caressing it I melt with love and call:
"Come, baby, come!"
A new ocean wave sweeps through me and
"Lo! The head is out!"
A second wave
The baby slides into my hands.
I lean to gaze into her eyes.
The universe dissolves me as a drop of water vapor in the sky.
Amazement brings tears streaming down my cheeks.
The cry of my newborn takes me back in the miracle of the present.
