A SUBTLE BIRTH

A Subtle Birth
Listen, lay your head down,
close to the earth and breathe,
and listen, quietly,
you will hear
the sounds of waters rising forth,
the A Subtle Birth

Listen, lay your head down,
close to the earth and breathe,
and listen, quietly,
you will hear
the sounds of waters rising forth,

 osmosis,
of the surface and the depth of sounds,
blending, merging into one
earthy sound
breaking forth
grains parting
and speaking
a new language
not yet known,
a tightness , parting
with a gentle pain
into the darkness below the earth,
the seedling tearing the cover apart,
and a subtle sobbing,
a sobbing of joy,
the joy of the seed, the earth and the sun
watching a stem breaking into light
