Mother Birth
Laura Meyer

the future

I am a woman
born for the ages
like the phoenix
rlsing,
from the ashes
of antiquity, a sister
a mother, I came
to walk the earth
to change the face
of history.

the past

When the sun sets
the future will fade
to past, to shine
like the moon
rising,
to satify the night.
