Part I
The moment
Overwhelming stillness
Deep breaths
Heart beating louder & faster
Sweat dripping down the trembling legs
Voice lost inside
Swallowed by the butterflies
At that moment when we meet
Hope you know
That I love you!
Part II
That moment
Sliced open just enough
Numb to every pain or sensation
Warm tears dripping into my ears
Searching for your cries
Heart beating fast yet staying calm
Because for once in my life I want to live
Live to watch you grow
Grow into the lioness I birthed that morning!
Part III
That moment
No pain No gain, a proverb lost in translation
No more hollowness eating me up
Or loneliness overpowering my existence
I stand tall and enlightened
With wisdom and strength
Just me for myself
In that moment
I hope it all makes sense!
