Becoming a mother

leaves no woman as it found her

she is unraveled

cracked open

and taken to edges

both brutal

and beautiful

at the same time

all in a day

Then rebuilt

into a yin yang

of nurture and protection

that is infinite in it's being

capable of a love

that transcends

time and space

living on

through future crinkles

aside smiling eyes<

soft laughter,

and the warmth of tiny tender hands

that while gentle

contain the strength of the one

strong enough to break

the once binding circles

of old ways

Yes becoming leaves no woman

as it found her

and paves the way

for a better, brighter, future.
