So,
You arrived
Crossing from the world of water
To this world of air.
What joy is born.
Pink streaked
Across the night sky
The call of a goose -
Above the hum of traffic.
Here the proof of continuation,
Born of blood and water
Bound in muscle, bone and memory;
What dreams have you brought
In your unfolding fingers?
You chose your moment
You came in your own time-
Dream time imprinted
The beating heart pulsing in song-
Another unmapped path to trace
In the arc of a morning star.
A diver breaking through
the thin film of the watery world
pushing into light and air.
What greater journey can exist,
At the very edge of now?
A tiny sliver of joy and hope
Dropping like a pebble in the pool -
Yet more love for the world.
