I don’t know what scares me more you or the thought of you
Alone in a crib sleeping quietly wandering through a maze of unasked questions
Considering nothing yet
Only lying alone with breath escaping your tiny mouth that one day will kiss lips with
love
Your tiny body unaware of all that it took to make you
Mommy and daddy together alone dancing to the music of promise and hope
The faith of two bodies majestically connected
Working in unison for you
Work of love
Work of fear
The question in my gut
Should we…
Are we…

​

The rain falls outside your window tonight
Like sweat from a soft red cheek
The rain is me and you
Traveling towards uncertainty
Hurled together by fate or chance
Maybe by god
Or maybe just maybe…
The rain will make it to where it needs to go
No questions asked
No need for clever answers or deep introspection
You and I will make it too
Together alone
