Grunts and groans bellowed
Of the voice I hold so dear
A darkened tunnel beckons
Contractions fuel my fear
.
A persistent stranger probes
Within my comfort walls
Luring and supportive
Below I hear the calls
.
Centimeters calculated
to gauge my arrival time
Tethered to a rope of which
Has served as my lifeline
.
Urgency now descends
The darkness turned to light
Sensations upon my newborn flesh
To everyone's delight
.
Overwhelmed by human touch
In full bloom are my senses
Oohhs and aahhs throughout the room
I’m lost to my defenses
.
Vision blurred
I search in desperation
Gravitating to the one
Expressing sheer elation
.
Into this harsh environment
I’m destined to explore
I’m laid upon the chest of whom
My eyes simply adore

"My tears need a minute to find the edges of my face. If you'll please excuse me." The sarcasm stabbed into Juliana’s heart. Antonia glared at her from the pit of the Lyceum as her student fought to hold back tears that had nothing to do with the pain in her fingers. “You’re better than this, again.”
