opening

opening invites
another space,
suggests further
possibility, is
daring and
scary.
opening is
feminine
and cannot
be forced.
to journey there
we must surrender.
opening cracks
the egg-shell,
the seed-shell,
the shell
covering
wholeness
and offers
the treasures
of birth...
we open when
we come to
the moon
cradling our pain
like a new born
child.
