I Poem by Valerie Dohren
I
Her breast was warm and tender was her face
Secure was I within her long embrace
Protected from the pain of human care
It seemed that I was ever part of her
But then I stirred awakened by the dawn
The time had come at last and I was born
The sun shone brighter than I`d seen before
I looked around and she was there no more
Then from hell`s kingdom sprang a raging fire
To fill my heart with longing and desire
Within my mind I knew that I was I
A thousand times to live, a thousand times to die
(Oh who was he who tore me from her breast
And left me here to weep with grief possessed
To wander through earth`s shadows I alone
Yet seeking him through whom I must atone)
Her tears as rain spilled down upon the earth
To soothe away the pain of mortal birth
And `neath the waters glowed the sun`s pure light
Through softly fading shadows of the night
(Where earth meets heaven dwells the sacred dove
And there I seek to find his perfect love
The sun will shine e`er brighter than before
In death`s abode when I am I no more)
This is so filled with emotion, it seems one tore from a mothers loving and warm embrace... Terribly sad. Thank you Karen :)
