new hope

by phillip bligh - Leo

I had a dream last night
far above the earth  
on puffy clouds of white 
where blue sky spawned new birth

No shadows cast, No sparrows cry
asleep in clouded bed
lay our new unborn child
who wore a crown of gold upon his head

This gold was the innocence
we'd given up for him.
His life now part of ours
of who's futures were most uncertain.

soon the dream was gone
as the night and moon
and the forcefull rays of sun
painted shadows in our room. 

And just before i turned 
too lay my head to rest    
I saw the glow of life 
from just below your breasts
  
For that momment which now 
forever beats in time.
Was the miracle that brings new hope    
to your life and to mine.
