Something emerges through the darkness,
something bursting, 
ripe and ready, 
hatching open,
breaking free.

A natural, 
inexorable need
to live and thrive
that cannot be contained.

The time for 
escalation is now. 

Don’t stop. 
Breathe through the ugliness,
the pain, the wreckage,
the fear.

Stay strong. 
Be of good courage and 
Believe
in this consummation of love
rippling its way,
clawing its way
beneath the strawberry moon,
so fruitful. 

Watch it 
multiply.
