    night

    The rythmic breathing of the night
    Ebbs and flows in tune like a well known melody.
    Muted bells ring in the distance.
    A lowing of a woman birthing her child,
    The life-bringing wail of her baby
    Pierces the darkness and brings light into the night.

    As a woman who just gave birth just after midnight, a week & a half ago, I like this! Especially the part about bringing light into the night!

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
