Quiet Nurturing

His tiny voice cried out to me
                        at midnight past impatiently
                        I cradled him gently as he drank from my breast
                        resting one flushed cheek upon my chest
                        The nurting sounds in the still of the night
                        brought forth such love, sustaining life
                        My heartbeat to his, blue eyes fixed to mine
                        unaware of the world, excusing all time
                        Suckling and cooing to full satisfaction
                        this child of beauty brought such revelation
                        God's image somehow inside of our own
                        within the miracle of quiet...

                        between mother and son
