New Born
There is a
Baby sleeping
And as yet
She knows nothing
Of this world
And somehow
She knows
everything
She dreams
In a space
Betwixt
Two holes
The gap that is
Your world
And the space
Which
Will be hers
And
For now
She knows little
Of either
Though it
Is painted
In the lines
Of her soft skin
And the
Space
Where her
Head
Has not
Yet
joined
Itself together
She is
And will be
Everything
And
Nothing
This precious child
Born of the
Breeze
And the sea
And the
Stars
And all you
Can do
(And
This is not
A choice)
Is breathe
In to her
light
And love
And feathers
And
Teach her
To fly
For her soft
Fluffy wings
Flutter now
And for eternity
Along
With the beat
Of your
Ever entwined
Hearts
