I find her gaze in all the noise…

The girl with the big blue eyes

Just like that, she pulls me out

Her voice soothes the aches

I feel her love in each phoneme

In every morpheme

The worry penetrates the tornado consuming me

She’s speaking to Her

She tells her all that hurts and where it hurts

I remain at a distance

Protecting myself from going under

I watch her nurture away the storm

And I think, “She’s going to be an amazing mother”
