Seamus this is one of your best poem..how beautifully you penned the birth of a child and which renews one's heart and soul.Loved the last 2 lines..the pain without the beauty The Beauty without the pain Thanks for sharing Rini
Thank you, Rini! There is so much miraculous beauty in the carrying and bearing of children. I am so glad I was able to reflect a little bit of that. Thank you always for sharing your kind and gracious thoughts.
Dang, Neal! This is great! It is characteristically you with its fresh, muscular, and accessible language besides having its heartening proclamation that comes with every incarnation (which echoes The Incarnation) . Woo hoo! -Glen
Glen, I have been away a bit, and have not had the time to write and correspond, but today I am taking a few moments to appreciate the gracious colleagues I have come to highly admire and respect, whose work gives me great pleasure in the moments I steal from the busy-ness of the machinations of living, and whose encouragement makes my writing a far richer experience. Thank you, Glen, for your ever gracious insights, and for sharing your art and wisdom with us all.
An astounding poem - -The genesis of creation- - -The beauty and pain that go with this - - - -Word by word it is a marvelous write.Let me quote- - What to the ear will sound Like a cry will rather be The dawn of breath Arising in the genesis Inscribed—no, divinely inspired— into flesh and blood and water, Eternity forward encapsulated,
Such gracious compliments from a writer whose opinion I highly esteem, as your art has given me much enjoyment and inspiration. Thank you.
Wonderful writing Seamus THANK YOU FOR SHARING MARIO ODEKERKEN
WoW! ! ! This is another high-quality poem that I have come to expect of you. I don't think you put boundaries on what you will write about- other than you write about something that interests you heart body and soul.
Thank you, Susan! I must tell you that your words of encouragement have frequently meant so much to me. There are many on this site who inspire me to be a better writer, a kinder soul, and a more compassionate human being, all in the narrower context of practicing our art. You have always been one of those souls. Thank you.

Seamus, I don't think I've ever read such a powerful piece about birth - raw and rough, yet sublimely beautiful and meaningful. That's what a new life is. Very touching poem.
