Eternal Mother And Child Poem by Carol Contino

Breathe one day it came to me although I don’t know how……
…..and then there was that sound.
The sound of muffled moans of pain, the sound of panic too.
But through it all two sounds stayed loud, the sounds of me and you.
I know it was your heartbeat; that I heard with each pulsating thump
it kept the rhythm of this realm and never did give up.

It was your spirit merged with mine that woke this sleeping soul
Just how far and long we’d been around, we really do not know.
But we found ourselves together one in journey, one in tow.
We swore we’d stick together and never turn our backs.
There was so much to learn from this, how could we let it go?

With a taste for something different than all the rest did know.
We came to understand the wonders of our soul.
You see when souls are this united they do not fall apart, although it appears to be.
They only take a rest, you see, before they start again.

So many things in life only darkness can reveal.
But on our way we shine our light so that others they might see.
There is always dark and always light, but never one can be.
They have to go together and they are always near so you can choose again, and again,
which one you will keep near.

And that is the soul and spirit too, that joined to do all this.
Not good or bad, we all got here, and now. is where here is.
Fear can’t stay where there is hope, so let your thoughts be known.
Your home is where your heart is and your heart is in your soul.

So let it be, as it has been before there was no time.
The rhythm that we all keep makes a vibratory sound.
So faint a sound can travel far and when we can all emerge
we’ve bathed in space and energy now it’s time to get to work.
We have so many souls still here each waiting a rebirth.
So mother and child will do it again in this space called earth.
