[painting: 'Sohni' by Arpana Kaur]
a poem for our future child: 

waiting for you to make the journey
so that we can be together 
is one of the hardest waits ever

sometimes i feel i hear you
pitter patter
when i hear the rustle of the wind through the trees
or the drumbeat of my favorite song

sometimes i worry for your safety
as you may have to cross rivers
or oceans
and i hope for your vessel to be strong

there's a confluence of birds singing
and i think maybe i hear
your giggle
among them

how strange it is to feel a love this deep
and to pray for your safety
and long for your arrival
when we haven't even met yet...
or have we?
