Come to Birth
By Sharon L. Reinbott: May, 2014
It began in the dark,
Flaring forth in the night,
Seeking space, making billions of stars.
And it swirled in the dust,
Gathered in to itself,
This beautiful planet of ours.
Chorus:
And it’s coming in closer
Like the foam on the incoming tide
It’s been groping its way
Through billions of ages
Til it comes to birth in you.
And it struggled to see
In the crystals of earth
All straining to find the light.
But it found its eyes
In the depths of the sea
In the waters it swam with new sight.
And it's coming in closer...
As it sought to know
It climbed onto the land
Grew green, reached upward and stood
And it roamed the earth
And it danced its dance
As if something had known that it would.
And it's coming in closer...
Will you give it birth?
Will you sing its song?
Will you let it dance wild and free?
Will you shine with its spark,
And live in the fire
Of all that is coming to be?
And it's coming in closer...
