Creation! Poem by Lodigiana Poetess

The warmth of shaded blackness ripped away.
Harsh brightness greets me
Eyes closed tight, strange sounds assail me.
My once floating body, heavy now
and feeling strange contact- skin on skin
Eyes open slowly to see movements.
I try to cry but fear holds me mute,
until, into my eyeline,
eyes appear.
Warm, brown, deep as eternal mysteries.
For a long moment I am held within them,
swaddled by their calm,
nurtured by their love,
swimming once again in their pacific tenderness.
I know that face,
I know that heartbeat,
that was my world.
A gentle, familiar voice
softly whispers ‘hello baby'
and finally,
I am home.
