And I sat on the shore
Watching the families
The mothers greatness and deep love
Fathers fountains of knowledge and abundance of affection
And I wondered
What if I'd have been chosen
To be a mother
To care for a child
My child
A million times more than I'd ever cared for myself
What if the mountains had realised that I too was strong enough of heart
Brave enough of soul
Overflowing with courage of the ocean
Capable to create a bond
Never to be broken
What if I'd been gifted a child
A moment so precious, tender
Instead of the loss
Empty womb
Dark spaces
Always checking
what I may have forgotten
something missing
Never awoken
I've learnt to catch the water from my eyes
and replenish the sea
Strong tears are needed
For the heart to be free
Never knowing is destruction
Always wondering is pain
Emptiness is darkness
But I've learnt to smile
In these moments of rain

Infertility is a ****** some days
