Since before you became, you were.
a tiny seed
star dust infinity
thrown down from heavenly galaxy
nestled in waiting
within me.
Since before you became, you were.
tree sap hibernation
tangled roots take pause
leaves fallen in mushy muck.
conkers for childhood games
and new life possibility.
Since before you became, you were.
held in the life of dreams
a future expanding before you,
a birth at home and siblings to adore you
blonde haired and fair
Since before you became, you were.
a fusion of love and lust and longing
absence makes the heart grow fonder
lovers limbs intertwined
lazy, late September afternoon.
and you were.
rhyme and rhythm
expansion under the melody of heart beat
swollen belly and breasts
flicker of hummingbird heart on a black and white screen.
and you are.
forever etched in memory
held in the palm, delicate body blessed and buried
back to the earth from which we came
a tiny seed
star dust infinity
thrown down from heavenly galaxy
nestled in waiting
within me.
Since before you became, you were.
tree sap hibernation
tangled roots take pause
leaves fallen in mushy muck.
conkers for childhood games
and new life possibility.
Since before you became, you were.
