Poem to my grand-daughter on the day she was born. (I can’t read it tomorrow because I will be flying back home.)
Her name came to the parents the day after her birth.

Aya Ray

 

Thank you child of the new day

for being born

and drawing out from within all of us

the wholehearted fairy tale princess,

uncovering the heroin of myths and legends,

and revealing the magical land

where the new born without a name 

swims back to the wombs of father and mother

through the dispelled amniotic fluid

through the dissolving of generations

through all the disincarnate beings

that make up her stellar cluster

to retrieve her true name 

never forgotten

but escaping enunciation.

 

As sparkling drops of rain 

pause expectantly 

waiting for the sun to warm them up 

until they let go 

of their frozen hold on branches

and with a last sparkle 

gently fall onto the dark earth

into a mysterious world full of life possibilities,  

her ever-flowing fount appeases the thirst

of millions minuscule sentient beings

sauntering, swaying, dancing,

to welcome and embrace the new-comer,

that dawn spirit, goddess of light

that ray of sunshine

Aya.
