Ruby Red
pct - 01/23/04
_______

a fairy jewel
ruby red
heart of the deep
beat once upon the forest floor

all
from earth to bough
waited
listening
for the second wave

all
from rock core to leaf tip
bent inward with the great contraction
held there
breath stilled
waiting

will she live?

and then it came
a second concussion
a third
a fourth

LIFE!
the song begins!!

her birth
sings
loves first hope

her breath
exhales
heartsong's fragile rays
a single note
ruby red
out into the universe

all
from earth to star
are pierced
baptized
awash in love
