Lainie's Poem

Rebirth

You made your way, impatient into the world,
From that dimly lit home where you danced joyously within the womb,
Anxious to begin your tasks and your journey.

As your mother, my daughter, took you into her arms that first moment,
A shared glance between the Crone, the Mother, and new Maid became its own Threefold Law,
A moment where we three shared tears - and Knowing.

In that moment where time was fleeting and yet forever,
Thoughts, words and emotions were not needed
Because everything was shared in that glance.

We shared a moment of generations connected by blood and souls,
An instant where life begins rapidly, but is still savored in slow motion
And becomes another gift given to prove the world still needs to exist.

Welcome back, little girl, to take your place and share your knowledge.
Your wisdom, freely brought from the realms of the Gods, must be given,
For Spirit has gifted you with an old and ageless soul.
