You become your own home dear child.
Giving birth amidst the chaos,
Ensconced in every landscape plundered
By multifaceted wounds from every dimension.
You’ve mastered the art of breathing in the darkness.
Haven’t you?
Reaching for any earthen holiness
To hold you tightly against the ravages of time
Waiting in earnest to walk with a God
You have only dreamed of meeting.
A God to guide you during every labor pain
Life has given you
Do you trust enough to rise from the ashes
Or let them engulf you?
Keeping still can make you feel like warrior or prey
But giving birth is the only choice
Afforded your soul in this very moment
Even when physical death is imminent.
Oh the life that humbly awaits you
The home that you crave has nestled itself
Inside you all this time
Waiting for drenching tears of joy
As you breathe faith into your lungs
For the very first time
Ever.
Welcome home my love, welcome home.
Happy New Year 2025!
