The Start of Something New
Something new can begin
Something new can begin to come alive
He didn’t know if it would ever live again
She was sure it would come alive again
Both of them
Were right
In the beginning, the newborn was born,
Young and ignorant
To the world around it
Oblivious to what was happening around it
Blind to what it would grow into
She and he raised it
It started to raise itself,
As it got older
Then its growth stopped
It began to get younger
But honestly,
I think this was the start of something new for it....
Both he and she cried tears of joy
Too bad the newborn was already becoming
The start of something truly new....
In their eyes,
It was still the same person
They had first brought into the earth
When they had given birth to the newborn,
On the earth,
In nature,
In the wilderness,
Of his and hers dreams.
The natural earth ground
Had given birth to the person
And accepted the baby,
As its very own child....
Forever at one
With the natural earth
The person was born unto....
Alone, by itself,
Laying on the top of a cliff,
Its bare body on the rocky surface of nature’s embrace....
It wasn’t alone
It had nature
Both he and she of nature
Would raise it
And let it grow up,
Into the start of something truly new
Into the start of something truly natural....
As the sun rose on the canyon,
The baby felt the light
From the sunlight,
Lying naked on the rocky surface,
Being held by nature’s arms
And grew up,
When he/she truly saw the sun
Truly saw the sun
For the first time
In his/her lonely, natural life....
Lying on nature’s cliff
Like a bed, or crib,
As it rocked the baby into night,
And he/she grew up as the days past....
Slowly....
Nature holding it for as long as it could support
A new human life in its natural hug....
And then,
It grew up
On the rock of nature
Living in its natural habitat,
Forever alone,
With nature as it’s parents
