11:59 PM

I am a miracle,

of my mother's love

and of my father's dreams.

I broke through the void,

devoid of meaning,

to an infinity

of time.

I came in screaming,

to seek my destination

after passing

through womb,

pierced by light.

I give my all,

to see

that we are

many,

trying to live up

to our destiny above us.

I finally open

into my own,

a reflection on the

mirrors,

beholden

to

a moment's kiss.
