New Baby Day 1 by ~MaryAllflowers

Spirit Meets Flesh Spirit Meets FleshSpirit Meets Flesh by ~MaryAllflowers
You step into this stream too cold
For spirit and call out
"No!"
But too late you've entered a
World of too bright - too dark
Images, close your eyes, you
Begin. Cry and dry hands place you
The scratch of starched linen
And you are alone, your protests
Unattended.
You'll be forty before you understand
How this first cry still vibrates.
Only then will you laugh and
Laugh, child, loving the play of shadows,
This feel of gravel under feet.
A very belated 'Thank you' for theon Igor.
I got overwhelmed with messages, but I figured late was better than never.
