(For Danny)
Every May I remember the fragrant season of promise
when first I walked in a blossoming time
carrying a ripened load of life, amidst Spring’s bright horoscope.
I wondered how my future, our future, would morph and change
even as my body cradled the life within
that quickened and leapt with such infinite possibilities.
The young woman in me embraced the new
even as all of nature seemed to anticipate and reflect
the imminent emergence, never before seen.
Oh firstborn son of my youth, my heart reflects and muses on it still
for when I birthed you, I too was birthed once again.
Every May I remember.
