Son pt. 2

 Before you I didn’t know

Just how beautiful 

The sound of the word: son 


Son

Is tender like 

dancing slowly 

in the kitchen 

With my lover

 and my babe in arms 


Son is 

Full

like

The swell

of a symphony 

That rises like gold

In your chest 

Lifting you up

As you ride the wave 


The wash of pride 

The joy that shimmers 

Like a heat wave 

On the pavement 


Expansive 

Like the horizon 

Where dark grey clouds descend 

Like a curtain. 

 

All encompassing

A Midwest thunderstorm 

A summer press 

A rain torrent 


I didn’t know 

A word could mean this much 

It’s rising and setting of the sun. 

My son
