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.
