The Whole Gift of Life

The whole gift of life,
was passed from man to woman,
it went from shadow to light,
angels dressed in hearts
opened a tunnel through 
which life would pass,
doves sang,like flying violins.

When I appeared from my long absence,
I stayed suspended,between, 
equinox and solstice, 
I saw how two people shared life,
how love bursts forth in happiness,
how a wave of passion is born,
like two hearts that touch,
like a blast of honey that flows singing,
From above,I saw my path,breaking 
away from thorny uncertainty, 
from shadow,that I did not ask for,
The whole of life is destined for me, 
like a brilliant light,
like an immense wave of sweetness.

In a sudden,
I recognized,from my perch,
those loving hands,as if before
I existed they had touched me, 
I recognized her soft warm womb
(transparent)that cradled me, 
the waters that soothed me, 
and her body,where lightningbolts 
of birth began and ended.

That's how I came into this world,
from,The whole gift of life,that
was passed from man to woman.
I saw it all from my sky-------------California Blue
