Life Flashing
Light lies at the
beginning and end of this tunnel.
It’s born in glee,
surrounded by love and the ocean.
It giggles with
airplanes that zoom on Daddy’s shoulders,
and cries with Mom
at the thought of how fast time flies.
It swells with love,
faithfulness, care, and conception,
and coos with freshly
opened eyes, gazing in raw appreciation.
Before long, it looks at
its previous self, reborn in new chance,
surrounded by
more light, than ever before.
