In the Beginning

In the beginning, there was man... and there was woman

Man looked at woman with love, and she gave her body to him willingly

And it was good.

In the beginning, there was love, and there was ecstasy

And, like all things of worth, it was sometimes hard

But it was good.

In time, there was a seed...... and a fertile space

And the two met, and the fertile space welcomed the seed

And it was good.

In time, there was joy, and there was expectation

And, like all things of worth, it was sometimes trying

But it was good.

And when the time was ripe, there was a move... and a cresting wave

And the two asked the woman to trust them, and she gave her body to it willingly

And it was good.

And when the time was ripe, there was elation, and work

And, like all things of worth, it was sometimes intense

But it was good.

In a moment, there was a life.... and a breath

And the two joined into a cry, a child

And it was good.

In a moment, there was three, and it was overwhelming

And, like all things of worth, it was sometimes humbling

But it was good.

In breaths and tears, there was touch

And there was warm milk and there were warmer bodies

And it was good.

In breaths and tears, a child grew, and a family florished

And, like all things of worth, it was sometimes frustrating

But it was good.

In years and lifetimes, a woman nourished

And a man loved deeply, and the child opened to receive them willingly.

And it was good.

In years and lifetimes, life became self, and self brought love full-circle

And, like all things of worth, it was sometimes heartbreaking

But it was good

And then...

In time...

there was man... and woman... and breath

became love

became work

became life.

And it was good.
