Born in Love’s Embrace
by Aaron Randazzo
Today I am born. New; not yet torn
From the sea of non-being; eternity breath
Sprouting from bud to cottonseed, worn
Are the leaves, wrinkled by season’s death
Cells know what we seldom think to show
Perfect harmonized activity, hasty grace flows
Together, trusting love, nothing is impossible
We ALL have our role to play; we are responsible
For the flow of time, captured by three noble eyes
Shall never cease to bless these crystal blue skies
Who speak nightly with hypnotic smoke formations
Trust we’ll need; for these signals to our destinations
Fear not, bold traveler in star garment disguise
You’ll sing into the hearts of millions, surprise!
You’re not the only center of creation, child
No reason not to let that beast run wild!
Shrouded footprints articulated directions
Paving mysteries, slithering to be comprehended
By voices whispered into soft inner reflections
Souls connect in cosmic voyages, we intended
Discovery of ancestral wisdom etched in stars
Secrets swell in the heart of tomorrow’s sun
Bonds are fond of sweet questions; what we are
Found in sacred moments where all is one
