Impending Arrival

9/7/2012

This poem is dedicated in celebration of Katie Huneycutt from Lumberton, North Carolina and the impending arrival of her new baby.

IMPENDING ARRIVAL

We are one,
yet separate
you and I

Together from that first moment
Daily you have made my life more,
more aware
more fulfilled
more complete

Our lives intertwined
from conception
Forever connected
from inception

Even before your arrival
Before the world comes to know you
You and I are one,
in love
in being
in spirit

Yet unborn,
unknowing
unknown
It is you who allows me
to blossom, to grow
as you do within
and all the while
We are now
We are always
Mother and child.

In the Hawaiian language, "Mana'o" (ma na o) is the word used to describe 'thoughts, ideas, and opinions'.
Since the beginning of my professional writing career, Mana'o has been the impetus for expression, so it only seems appropriate to combine Mana'o and a blog spot on our web site. Please feel free to read and join the discussions and comments posted here.
