Miscarriage

I held on as tightly as I dared
onto the Light,
but the darkness within my womb caused
it to die in
a rush of hot blood.  It slipped to the
floor, never to
be remembered, extinguished, even,
its heartbeat stalled
forever.  I wish I'd known her name.
I had in mind
Aurora, the goddess of the dawn ...

    Aurora is her name, she is remembered.
    Dawn is your special time. A most personal
    piece, to you and to me. Thank you for sharing.
