I Welcome You LifeI welcome you Life
with an open hand
You are a terrible Angel
descending down the spiraling
staircase
I welcome you Life
with an open heart
because I know that I cannot
stop you from
flowing
I welcome you because you are
the eternal feminine
always giving birth to your
children
I welcome you Life in the most
beautiful and hideous
of experiences
in joys and agonies
of all Creation.
I welcome you into my bed
like a seductive woman.Teach me.
