Lucia

From what was told as not to be,

Denied, no, she would not be,

From a speck buried so deep,

A soul did form,

Momentum would then carry thee

Throughout the process

Through each stage,

Tiny patters within

Flesh, not mine, but the same as me

Ossein expanding, growing strong

Pushing forward into dawn

Spirit blossomed until the breach,

And ever after, blossoms still, every day, all and each

Wisdom crawling in your grasp, reaching,

And then comes a severed pause,

Waiting…

And smiles formed as you first screamed

Joys of teardrops never known

Pains of labor, a fruit your own

And now you kick and gnaw

Prod and pull, screaming loud

To fill the ravenous empty

Desiring milk to comfort your lack of sleep

Center-stage; exit none,

Commanding audience from the coldest heart

Desolation distracted in your keep

A face so glowing, driest eyes tick than start

Futile preservation, arid stares begin to weep

In laughing bellows, the tapestry changes some

Transformation of flesh and skin

What you’ve done you can’t begin…

Unannounced, but well preserved

A world of darkness, light is nil

Yet in the eyes, you shine still

A fatal flaw in composition, you have unnerved

Smiling at passing words

Sentences composed of murmured verbs, in silly voice,

One could wonder, if you cheer the wording choice,

Or smile loudly because of pride,

To see all the love that surrounds your life

Or perhaps it’s as simple as, you choose not to ignore,

All of loves’ grand accomplices

Parting words I speak now,

Your predilection for this soul

Has cracked a crevice into a forlorn world

And shed a sheathe of hope throughout

Purified, as you are today,

Original sin now cast aside,

No one can deny the purity that I’ve always seen,

As I walk, each of these days

With you near, I view the world in different ways

Happiness may still be far,

But with you in my arms; with you in my life,

I can think of nothing else
