Exquisite Gift He wakens me in darkened room In halo’s corner sings a tune A splendid loving melody Of twinkling crests on rippled sea And patiently he waits his turn No hurried step, no timely yearn No lighted candle does he burn And patiently he waits his turn Then gracefully he comes to me No vision of his face I see And know not I who he may be Though try I may, I cannot see But knowing that he bears a gift My vacant spirit to uplift His presence welcomed openly I wait my turn as patiently Then in the halo lighted room He comes to me and fills my womb Exquisite spirit, meek and mild Exquisite gift - my future child Elizabeth Santos |

Liz, you have taken my breath away with this lovely, lovely poem. It reads like pure silk, and touched me deeply as a mother myself. I loved carrying each of my children and thank God every day for the blessing they are. Ellie 02 |

Thank you all for your kind comments. This poem is about a spiritual experience I had when I was pregnant with my first child. It happened before anyone could have detected in a medical sense that I was pregnant, in other words, right after conception. And though there were no voices involved, I was somehow aware of what was happening. I knew at that moment that I was pregnant.I have met one other woman who had this same experience Liz |

The mother in me has goosebumps, the poet in me is nodding, and the Christian in me knows there are spiritual blessings all around; with your words, you awaken us. Lovely. Linda |
