I Begin

I begin to see the proof
with my eyes.


I am surprised to feel the fever
in my soul.


I stand at the stairway- it seems like hours.
I must choose.


The conversation between
head and heart.


My instincts emphatically
know the signs.


I see a woman.
The afternoon light her only ceremony.


Her hands outstretched-
carrying the years of the Earth.


A whispered "my dear."


I begin.
I am.
I stand.


I see a woman changed.
