At Birth Poem by Katusiime Jeresi

Where poetry stops smiling
beyond rhythm and rhyme
beyond the allure of cadence
in a form I cannot explain
thats where my smile is written
where pain pulls over
beyond the despair of uncontrollable spasms
beyond the pull of agony
in a stream of reflex tears i had never experienced
your cry meets mine.
Where the rising and setting suns cease to entrance
Beyond the sweet music of the midnight rain
Beyond the shimmery trillion ripples of the nile
In beauty simply divine
I tirelessly stare at my eyes on your face
I wont be the fool who
Tires to describe your wordless speech
With syllables but I will try to look
To peer beyond the horizon
Beyond the limits you have sketched
Beyond the unimaginable
Beyond the gratitude and thank God above
For gifting me with you.
