Love's Labor

the baby's head crowns as Father watches -- a dozen red roses When but a speck gelatinous, unformed, you watched Watched as the determined swimmer pierced my soft core Smiled at the countless me's, in the sea of thee, birthed. Your joyous laughter spins universes with a roar, marries diverse minions in delight astonished, as made and unmade we rise, a holy labor. You watch each molten mountain crest an aching sea as stark white stars shine in my lovers tearing eyes smiling at the she's and he's, who chose to be free of what if's and enjoy this never ending ride in this holy labor we abide.

You phenomenal woman :-) Whata write! You now will send me back to cyberspace to look up curtail sonnet as I'm fairly certain the soup definition will be slim pickings. Loved spins universe the most... that line TACKLED me, bear-hug style. Hope you are well, chum. My day could be a chapter in one of those mommy humour books.. literally one murphy's law after another. Poor girl, I'm sure she'll sleep through the night. Hugs, Cyndi SOUP MAIL

I can't help agree with Catie's interpretation of that miracle moment, which is, under the best of circumstance, filled with astonishment and joy...(let us hope)... ahh...as usual your moment with pen, makes me want to read and relish again.
