A Song for the Unspoken

​Springtime calls forth an awakening. Many animals and seeds have been slumbering this winter, and are now waking.
 
What lies within your heart that is now awakening? What has been slumbering deep within your soul that is now ready to open and awaken?
 
I received such a warm response from my March blog that I am inspired to open myself further, and share a poem. I wrote this poem several months ago for a friend who is struggling to become pregnant. Through my own grief process, I have learned that many women suffer silently – struggles in becoming pregnant, miscarriages, postnatal death of an infant or child… and the list goes on.
 
This is a poem, or song, of the heart for all the unspoken grievances and losses especially around pregnancy and child birth.
 
This is to call in the angels of Grace, to hold our broken hearts.
 
This is to awaken our voices and share our deep vulnerabilities within.

“A Poem for R.”
(and all women with a hope of pregnancy and children)
 
You’re a momma through and through.
I see
Your light.
Your seed of hope.
 and love shining through.
 
You are a momma through and through.
 
I wish I could tell you
It will all be fine.
It will be okay.
Yet we both know the universe and God
 have plans of their own each day.
 
I wish and pray and
Hope for the best.
I love you through and through.
 
You cross through
Fires,
And clashing rocks;
And leap chasms together
With your partner.
 
Your gentleness,
Courage,
Love,
And Grace
Are your closest allies.
 
Women through the ages
Walk this path with you, Sister and Momma.
They know your daring heart
And your fierce tenderness,
And bless your womb tonight.

May your embers shine brightly
As these blessings rain down upon you
Nourishing your seeds of light and hope.
 
I wish and pray and
Hope for the best.
 
Today and tomorrow too,
You’re a momma through and through.
