New life emerging
Is there a more beautiful sound
Gasping, drawing that first breath
A tiny babe's voice is found
Knife to my heart
Sound of a newborn's cry
Sweetness contradicted
In the pain of why
Haunted
By silence and stillness
Soul-piercing, heart-wrenching
Like a perpetual illness
Her perfect heart stopped beating
Catapulting me into this world
A world of forever silence
Dreams for her life unfurled
Her new life emerged
Somehow already having ended
A grieving mother emerged
Previous self apprehended
Silence somehow screams
Resounding through the years
Reminder of life that slipped away
Echoing silent tears
