The great pregnant woman gives birth to spring again
Under the ice and powder snow
Spring flowers sprouted in secret chambers
Flowers were born without a cesarean section
And without an episiotomy
In the lightness of natural currents
And while silence spreads the flowers
Human children are also born
To sing a hymn to life with their first scream

- Comment from author about the poem: This poem is based on the parallel between the birth of spring and the birth of children. The earth is personified in the image of a great pregnant woman. And the silent flowers as her children and the human children with their voices, both celebrate life.

Gosh - if child birth is so easy and beautiful, I think I might have a go!😊
It's not easy, but it's just as beautiful. It's worth trying. 🙂

A fine Poem and Parallel. Can't wait for Spring.
Thanks a lot for your comment. It's already spring here in Germany after very cold winter.
I really like the comparison of nature regenerating with birth of new life, and the fact the planet is portrayed as a woman, which makes sense. Enjoyed the read
