And nothing more
Grain of rice
Not seen before
Seed of life
Rush of love
Centre of hope
A warm spark
A gift of life
Not just to self
But to mother to be
A lifeline
Reached deep down within
And pulled her out
Gasping for breath
She's been underwater for far too long
Muted sound, soul-less song
Scattered thoughts
Blowing aimlessly in the wind
I tried hard to find her hand
Clasp it tight
Lead her with me through the night
Briefly held, I smiled again
She slipped silently
Down once more into
The darkest corner of
Her mind
Lost
Fallen
My child burrowed into
The poisonous chamber of my heart
And I wanted her out
She did not belong there
But now
This gentle glimmer of hope
Holds her transfixed
Caught here
In the now
Head above water
Learning to breathe
A protective fold
Has taken its hold
And I embrace
This change in face
My child is coming back
She has been gone for too long
Fighting
So strong
The tiniest heart beat
Begins right here
Pulsing with life
Time to smile
Moments to cherish
Pride swells
As she sheds her childish charms
One by one
Hope
I hope that this hope hangs on
Hold tight
Keep that love alight
Baby Bean...
I hope that I may meet you one day
