Sensations of strength come unexpected
They are newly born and welcome
Precious as all new life.
Unpredictable, they appear and disappear,
Fleeting in their attenuated passing, they are fragile
Leaving a sense of wonder, then loss.
Mine to nurture, this fragile strength might transform me.
I hold this seeming paradox
And feel a celebration – a beginning.
