(loon)

Mother Nature holds
in her arms
me and creation

me and creation
universe
connected as one

connected as one
me with child
whole with babe inside

whole with babe inside
then you came
smiled your perfect smile

smiled your perfect smile
lovingly
all our hearts melted

all our hearts melted
your sister
came along later

came along later
with kinfolks
four generations

four generations
ten more years
before GrandMère passed

before GrandMère passed
we were whole
nothing unravelled

nothing unravelled
death unglued
family changed anew

family changed anew
life goes on
perpetual change

perpetual change
unswerving
but still, comforting
