Netzah (Eternity) |
Could I have died so soon,
so soon that my cries were silenced in your womb? So soon that I’ll never touch your breast nor feel your hands caress my brow? So soon that you never got to sigh and cry sweet tears of joy, for your first child, your first born boy? Could I have dies so soon? I suspect not, for I felt the passion of your love around me as my heartbeats slowed, then stopped. As I lay motionless, I heard the misery in your cries that I would not be born alive and wondered, why? Yesterday father, you fathered me. Today dear mother, you birthed m. I was there, you were there. We all stood witness. I heard your whispers, that you loved me. I heard you tell each other how beautiful I was viewed in my eternal quietude. I even felt your soft caress as you held me to your breast. On this morn, mourn not for me. With ethereal grace I have a name. I have a home, I have a life… to live through all eternity. |
