A relentless reminder,
was carved onto my being,
as I saw my own soul,
quite face to face that long hour.
My last breath , I caught
escaping the deep chasm
between new lives.
Alive.Again.I am.
Across the generation gap
he made his way out
and unknowingly left a mark ---
the mark of a woman!
I celebrate the scarred milestone
where I buried a lost girl
behind that raw seam,
only to discover my niche.
~ The birth giving process is a rebirth for every woman. To give way to the mother, the girl in me had to leave. Even in my dreams, now, I forget what I was before! It has left a deep rooted mark, not only on my body, but on my subconscious mind.
