A Brand New Art

The spark of life was once within me.
I held it in my womb and heart.
The loss has left me forever changed.
My life’s become a brand new art.

As time has passed the pain has softened,
But a void lingers strongly still.
Will there ever come a time in which
My babe in arms desire’s fulfilled?

I see my soul’s wish slipping away
As my years on this earth continue on,
Longing to manifest what’s been illusive,
And still manage hope to grasp upon.

So I open my mind to possibilities,
And consider more than union alone.
For the love of a child within my life
I will traverse that road on my own.
