[Poetry] In the Beginning

and
finally
She arrived
from the pool.
Her senses activated
as She opened Her eyes
and introduced Herself boldly
with the most rewarding scream:
YES! LET THE WORLD KNOW!
She filled the room with Her presence.

Life
unaltered
is swaddled
in my tight embrace.
She is naïve
and simply
Perfect.

the
future
flashes forward
for a Soul Yet-To-Be…
for She is just
minutes
old.

one does not forget the faces of parents
as they are first given their Perfection
relishing the feel of Her hair –
an almost-fear of speech
permits but mouthing
the softest welcome:
with trembling love
and pure adoration,
they whispered,
“Hello.”
