The water circles her belly;
A moon in the glassy, rippling sky.
Little waves undulate
Back and forth
With the hum and thrum inside of her.
The lotus begins to blossom!
Oh-oh! The tigress calls.
The water flower opens
-And spills out life.
Lifted, lifted towards the light,
Floating and feeling.
Air on skin
-A gasp!
Wide eyes wonder.
Her smile dazzles,
Breaking through the sheen
Of tears and sweat.
Serenity pervades
As soul meets soul.
