ten thousand names

you came to me in a dream
sick was I, with a belly of twins
not yet ready
to find their way in the world
I, not yet ready
to lead them on their way

two years pass
the first, birthed and alive
and I am crying as the light hits your hair
standing amongst tall grasses blowing in the wind
with so much stillness, and so much motion
this moment is everything

and you tell me your name
and it is Isis
and I know I must remember you

with this
there is so much sweetness
as you look into my eyes
letting yourself go into the ether
knowing, there are other beings to be born

with this
room to open
the second one arrives
bringing forth
more dreams to feed
