Click hereThe light
at the end
of a tunnel
Inspires gentle movement
Weary journey
Almost ended
Yet really
Just starting
The eyes open
ready to see
without judging
The ears twitch
ready to hear
without interrupting
The mouth opens
ready to speak
without arguing
And the light, the beautiful light
grows ever closer and inevitable
The arms reach
ready to touch
without hurting
The legs lift
ready to walk
without hurrying
The body breathes
Perfect in form
Angelic in innocence
It is the last bend of the tunnel
Blinding light
Pleasurable pain
Beyond is sunlight
Beyond is laughter
Beyond is beyond
A sudden rush of water...
Frantic motions....
Cries of delight...
IT'S A BOY!!

duddle146over 17 years agoAn exquisite rendering on the birth of a child. Done with a beautiful description of the first moments of life. Beautiful magic words that lovingly describe the miracle of birth.
dcpoet44almost 19 years agoas it merely rests on the notion of entering into life without the conditions of the brutal way life can be. one could say a very warmhearted entrance. it does have that sentimental element too.......don
WickedEveover 19 years agoYou could drop the tunnel line from the first stanza since we know it's about a tunnel.
Perhaps:
The light at the end
inspires gentle movement
