Here & Now

earthlings are tender

fragile and delicate

and then they earth another body

within their womb

their sensations, stressors and stimuli

fill their blood and flesh

with fear and love

how the scales tip

depend upon circumstances, situations and actions

built off ideas, feelings and attitudes

a mom can be a source of original goodness

and also the birth of brokenness

spiraled out into a new generation

lineage of not only the body

but mentality and perspective

to the point of ingrown, stifled entanglement

or with an open heart

with empowerment

and encouragement

and reassurance

one can trek out

into the wild world

but to born another

requires a sacrifice

not only of pain

from the body

but to let go of what comes from

into what could be

and to care for the other

who will move beyond

elsewhere into their

new realm of life, being and love
