You sit in the womb
Of your own making
Dark and cold
So you can hear your own heart breaking
No sobs echo through you
Only tears fall on your palms
As you dream of your past
And nightmares that grow dark
Every arm that reaches in
Reaches to pull you out
But in your palms lie your eyes
In pools of tears that tremble out
You are waiting
For a new beginning that comes
To birth you into
The sunshine that burns
You can see the pinpoint
Of love that touches you
And crave for the touch
Of the one that adores you
A smile spreads like light
On the dew of dawn
From the horizon it begins distant
And grows as the darkness recedes until it’s gone
There lies his face
Shining before you
The sunlight you have waited for
Has now greeted you
New born in this spring afternoon
The flowers rise to greet you
As you sing into the breeze
And dance to the new tune
But soon the darkness descends
As the clouds grow thick around you
He will not be here
To hold and caress you
Now you wait again
With baited breath and deep drowning love
For him to return
And give you wings to shame the clouds above
