to carry a dream

i don't want to live
for a dream to be birthed,
i want to live
for the seed to be sown
in this womb,
so i can feel
its eyes, feet and palms
still being formed,
so i can feel
it move and grow
in me, with me,
changing me,
shaping me,
so i can feel it's breath
move with mine,
hear its song
sing with mine,
so i can carry its weight
and not feel restrained,
so i can live and die
celebrating the sanctity
of this unborn dream,
this unborn mother,
and an unborn child.
