Interview with a fetus

she wished to know
so taking her permission
I peeped deep into her womb
to have a conversation
with a foetus therein

what I saw 
with my soul’s eye
was God’s spark as light
in the innermost cave 
glowing as all heart

we spoke for a while
in as our souls entwined
mirroring the one light of God in all
sheathed in the foetus’s heart
as source of life itself

Self dwells in singularity 
loosely portrayed as heaven 
it chooses to experience duality 
so takes birth as organic form
to learn to love by touch

with God as the core
the only true substance 
by His will new life develops
to fulfil His will on earth
as it is in heaven
