The Beauty of Life & Rebirth
Author’s Note: “The Beauty of Life & Rebirth” was written in a moment of reflection. Recently introduced to motherhood, there was a need to capture the essence of such a pure untainted love between my baby girl and I. This poem is a snapshot in time to preserve a memory I would have otherwise been saddened to lose.
The type of art that took my DNA’s most profound poets and illustrious painters to create
At this rate it’s as though I’ll blink and the entire weight of all the pages that we’ve turned will illustrate just how fruitless all that rage was
My love for you is ageless
My heart is weightless
Walking on air and in all the places that your present my heart races to find you in every timeline and dimension
Not to mention
Teaching you to be better
Is a lesson
A love letter
From me to you
To stay as true to the path that your heart chooses
Be ruthless in the pursuit of all that’s genuine
You are divine
Your light will shine
Despite everything God has aligned for you
Because it’s true
Not every person that you meet will be true to you
But just remember I will always be there in every smile
In every ember that gets sparked
May your Decembers reside in the brightest house when the nights get too dark
All you can hear in the distance are jingle bells sung by church members and jolly families
learning to fox trot
Though I would rather not
Rather not leave you
I’ll always be right there in your rear view no matter how many years pass
If energy never dies then mine will be in paradise because it’s chosen to become a shield for you
One made of love that has been proven throughout centuries and millennia to follow through
The voice that won’t stop until you’ve healed from all that has and will hurt you
Because life’s not fair
And if you’re reading with tears in your eyes it means that I’m not there
Its unfair
I know
If I never said it enough
I love you
You are the only star in my sky
And as sure as my vibration is to rise
Can’t nobody ever be put above you
You are the moment this spirit realized
The meaning of being reborn to truly be alive
For that
I dedicate my life to you until this body has dematerialized
