a vision {poetry thursday}

self portrait, canon digital rebel xt

i feel watched over
my eyes drunk with God
my face in the bosom of Mother Earth,
protected
light pulses through me
circles above my head
down into my womb
my body altered
not here, nor there
but somewhere in my near future
swelling belly
biting into a pomegranate
not tasting the bitter
only the sweet nectar spilling down
onto the home of my babe,
honoring the space around my womb
ripe juice between my fingers
gently smoothed over my belly
with creative abandon,
a masterpiece is made.

This was a vision I had during meditation today of me pregnant. Hopefully in the near future.
