is the child coincidental?

to  the deepest moment of love ..maybe lust!

the curled toes

the tightly shut eyes

the pursed lips

churns your blood with a warmth

deeper than you have ever embraced

chills your spine with a current

stronger than any you have ever survived

in a daze

you walk across the threshold

and into the door of parenthood

The sign reads –

“buckle up! it’s an amazing long ride”

lives

common destiny

fiber,being,breath

genes,generations,generational’s

missed opportunities

new normals

the obvious, the not so obvious

the wrinkles and the nooks and cranies

the aha moments, the ouch occassions

love fear joy anger

the broken promises,the discovered treaties

losing innocence,invading spaces

forgiving,affirming

silence,the choking screams

laughing into a crumble

crumbling into a mess,submission

together and alone

the rituals as well as the routines

toleration and it’s definitions

pride in everything except oneself

meant to be, yet – want to be

were,are,will be – maybe?

Life,together – there has to be more

there is a lot more to fulfill

more parenting

more reverse parenting

more mentoring

more friendship

more love and what comes along

children,fulfillment,validation,confusion

anxious progress

doubtful decisions

authentic acknowledgement of wrinkles

tears that flow when

there is togetherness

along with remembrance

of people,moments

that uplifting saltiness

creating tracelines physical and more

never to be duplicated

unknowingly but surely

common in our passions,longings

more life is yet to happen ..

Let us mesmerize it.

in this instant did miss the we

the convenience of extracting yourself from the process

seemed just too quick,a tad unfair!

accountability is personal

holds true, generally

there are always exceptions to the rule

you lay hapless,sterile,quite wanting a hug!

at that moment there was a mother sending a firm message to you and to Him

nothing doing,get your act together

no unclear terms

not another time

she was in control,would have it no other way

He knew it was not going to be easy to cross her path

i gave you your warm hug, you smiled your usual silent way

urging wellness to you always..
