daughter

day by day they become her
atom and molecule transform
orange into eyes
meat into muscle
each one making it journey from the soil to her soul.

we share breakfast from the yogurt pot
some for mummy some for baby
and now yogurt sleeps in both our tummies
waiting to become human.

her skin stretches into space
she breathes the air that has flown around the world
and drinks the water that has been ocean, rain and river

she eats the chicken that ate
the lettuce that ate the sunlight

and every one of her atoms pulsating
with immaculate energy and power
barely contained within Physic's laws,
gently hum to the silent rhythm of life - tuned into the Divine frequency
that only in silence we hear.
