What Child Is This

A Poem

Here I am, fulfilling the destiny ordained for me
Beyond time and dimensions
This is birth
The story begins

These sensations that now awaken in me are not new
But my experience of them
Is entirely different in quality
Air gently embraces my body
The touch of this, my mother’s breast
As she feeds me from her own…
