Holding Me In Hug
Holding Me in Hug
Afraid - I wrap my arms ‘round my legs - holding me in hug.
Struggling for your voice alone.
You are gentle with my tremblings.
And yet I shake. You lay your hand softly on my knee. I feel the start within.
But there’s no slap with you.
And as I breathe deeply to settle shakiness, I feel the rock.
I rock - back and forth - back and forth. Wrapped - the embryo in womb.
How pathetically sad – how touchingly sweet
I breathe
waiting to be born.
