She remembers

So, I wrote this during my latest foray into Creative Writing.
Enjoy....


She remembers…..


He sleeps…unaware, blissful
His mother guarding, ever watchful.
The even cadence of his breath,
Touching the core of her being.
She remembers……

The perception of freedom before this child,
Peaceful, quiet oblivion.
Colorless searching for her life’s fulfillment.
Always wanting, needing something else.
She remembers……

The day, the knowledge, coming change
Suddenly protective, cautious….aware
Nauseous and terrified by turns.
She remembers…….

The rhythmic beating inside,
Keeping time with some unheard piper.
Beating its tunes on the top of her bladder.
She remembers…….

Time……to go, to push, to scream, to cry.
Sweet agony, the foreshadowing of ecstasy
Alone in her pain…then stillness
The cry.
Tears of joy, release and redemption
She remembers…….

Sleepless nights engulfed in hazes of exhaustion.
Forgotten, in a moment of peaceful embrace.
A look, a bond, total contentment.
She remembers…….

He sleeps…..
Innocent dreams behind lidded blue eyes.
The slumber of one loved and protected.
Unaware that she watches…..softly smiling.

And remembers……..
