Birthing Love... Poem by Trevor Schulte

My heart beats with the utmost excitement
as I begin to meet my dream.
Her smile enlightens my days
as I pass by the negativity with reverence
that oversteps any doubt.
The rebirth of my hopes brings light
to a world that was thought to have been
overshadowed for eternity and a day.
My eyelids wince to the new light
that has never been seen
on a slate so clean
while all my life I have been treading
on the midpoint between
Oh how this beauty that has blinded my eyes
finally takes off its disguise
to reveal a form that takes my breath away.
I utter the feelings that I understand
as others listen to a muted mouth.
It is well worth the wait to withstand while others
basked and boasted about breaking the barriers.
For I see promise in the beauty that fills my eyes
and a future built of trust and longing.
This unity of time is building to be
something better than hollowed relationships
that blink while we stare; whisper while we shout;
splitting while we join.
For the day is young on this newborn
as the world it slowly begins to adorn.
