A Woman Awaiting Child - Birth Poem by indira babbellapati

Wonder of creation
Gift-wrapped
A pink ribbon
Around the thread-bare belly…

The little girl stood
In wonder and awe
Of the conical home
Of ethereal grandeur
Of divine architecture
Inimitable
Secure
Warm
Sustenance
Found nowhere else
On earth or in heaven

I once lived there
I once housed you there,
My little one, she whispered

Let’s wait for Him to unwrap…

Two pair of eyes reflected
Their glint in each other’s…
