Belly Swells
Belly swells, life within
Lotus petals drift
On the temple pond,
arranging new constellations
Golden light within,
Speaking to life around,
Dancing in her womb
Night jasmine unfurls
Sweet prophecies in darkness
While she dreams, I wait
Peacocks gather now
In our garden, spreading ferns
Of celestial eyes
Each breath she takes holds
The weight of ancient,
Purifying earth
Time slows to honey
As sacred hours approach us
Birth-bells will soon ring
Watching her sleep,
I see generations of light
Flowing through her veins
In her pain I hear
The universe rearranging
Its eternal song
Dawn breaks like water
My grandchild's first cry reveals
Heaven's newest voice
