"earthside" poems
The earthside glistens from rainfall's night
Sun of our God, glimmering daylight
*What will we hear today?
What will we see today?*
Rippling rivers traverse downstream
The creatures of Nature seldom seen
Plantations growth tame when lost
Only to find what life could cost
*What could we feel today?
What could we be today?*

Grounded me earthside
Fingers of twine
Pulled me from him
Steadied my spine
Fingers of dread
Waiting, waiting
Pointing to the door
Aching, aching
Tap my sternum
Baby's lullaby
Help me breathe
Write me right

You held me long within you
From the moment I grew inside you
You knew me and I knew you
As I thrived within your womb
Every day to grow and move
You felt me and I felt you
As one with you so long
Every breath, your voice your song
I loved you and you loved me
My time here was too fleeting
So short our earthside meeting
But you knew me and I knew you
As you gazed upon my face
And held on to hope with grace
You loved me and I heard you
I felt each beat of your heart
Our love can never be torn apart
My mummy you will always be
I love you and you love me
