when i think - think back to the significance
of that day - that day when the
purpose of my life was born into this world,
i am
filled with an utterly profound connection
to the alignment of the heavens -
75 days removed from the first of the breaths
that i took; children of the same moon,
shifting between a season; one aflame with the
fires of the lion and the complexities of the
crab in his shell; the other
the innocent awakening of life to death;
the call to slumber of the summer's heat;
a witching temptress of the Autumn breeze;
we awoke to this place, this time, you not
far behind, chasing me from somewhere
else, attached to my beam, holding onto my
thread, knowing
how lost i would be without you;
how lost we would be without us;
and on this day you smiled upon the earth
and brought light into so many lives; on this day
your mother's life became the dream you
know she had;
she touched the one she was the most
and gave herself to you; looked into
the eyes of the vessel her spirit would one
day haunt, and she smiled at you
and cried, i'm sure... because thats what
joy does to you -
a girl who tames wolves with the songs
in her eyes; the woman
who lives with a demon in tow;
a story unlike any ever to be told;
when i think about this day, i think
that all of my life was given to me
on a a night that will look like tonight;
that without it there would have
remained the emptiness of before you;
you found me before, to come to me here in
this world, and on this day, you made it,
and when i think of that,
all i can do is take
a deep breath and
wipe away my eyes.
