a prayer today
for those who are holding the promise of new life
(of whatever kind)
inside them
for those who are holding the promise of new life
(of whatever kind)
inside them
tiny cells and a heartbeat,
a barely formed idea,
a story still yet without words
a barely formed idea,
a story still yet without words
holding already a fingerprint and a soul,
unique and unrepeatable
a beginning too early to speak of
as if the telling – even in a whisper -
would break the fragile membrane that holds it together
would break the fragile membrane that holds it together
hold it fast with fierce passion
hold it gently with holy love
hold it gently with holy love
