And find a face for the first time
in the reflection between our locked eyes
And in their vision,
in a sudden flash of recognition
of our place in the Grand Design,
our child will be let
into the gates of creation.

We awoke from our sleep
and left our sanity beside our bed
peeled off those sedative sheets
released our eyelids' grip
on their protective lens
and let the whole miracle in
past the shattering glass

You know who said that?
Lord Byron
It's in the opening to this book,
Touched with Fire
she, out of nowhere,
had this manic episode
So she tried to keep it a secret
She decided to write books about it
Instead of being ashamed of it,
she made it a gift
when the world turns to magic at night...
they'll know...
the music

...Come on, I want to hear yours...
