Dear Child
Even before you
Could behold the light of Earth
Your mother and you were one
Invisible and inseparable
Enfolded in the Infinite
Breathless
She awaited the tender weavings
Of the threads of life
Till once in the light of day
Your soul awakened, and one became two
Patiently
Time, like a spider, weaves
Its web of silver pathways
Upon which we are borne along
Alone, and yet together
The light of love
Weaves inner threads
That bind us on the journey
Becoming, one by one
In the Infinite, once more... ONE
Even before you
Could behold the light of Earth
Your mother and you were one
Invisible and inseparable
Enfolded in the Infinite
Breathless
She awaited the tender weavings
Of the threads of life
Till once in the light of day
Your soul awakened, and one became two
Patiently
Time, like a spider, weaves
Its web of silver pathways
Upon which we are borne along
Alone, and yet together
The light of love
Weaves inner threads
That bind us on the journey
Becoming, one by one
In the Infinite, once more... ONE

What a beautiful poem and a picture! Both express the miracle and magic of a new life and the special bond between mother and child! I love the words alluding to the journey of being from oneness to two, and back to oneness. Sending love and light to Marthe and to the whole family.
