'I Have Seen'
by Felina Lune Kavi
January 2008
I have seen myself in your eyes
smiling, in love.
I have seen our future
through golden rays shining
on your gray-green seas.
I have fallen deeper
into you, eyes entranced,
than anyone else could fathom.
I have felt you uncontained, pure energy,
in sync with every vibration in me.
I am into you so deep
that I can breathe only you.
'Storyteller'

Soft skin on my skin,
I watch our son sleep.
I see you, my husband.
I see a rebirth before me.
I am meeting ancestors,
Some of yours for the first time,
All in the gentle breaths of our baby.
When he opens his eyes,
He shows me everything,
Everyone present and past,
Guiding his future.
I wish we could keep the wisdom
With which we are born.
I see it in his eyes.
He gazes at me, then looks just beyond,
Seeing what most lose the ability to see.
He sees me too.
He sees all the past and present
Guiding my future.
He sees himself in me, as in you.
He remembers the story unfolding,
Though he may forget most of it
Before he can tell us.
Pieces of it will catch his consciousness
From time to time…spilling forth.
And we’ll wonder at the weirdness,
And smile about the creativity
Of a son born of two artists…
One of imagery and one of words.
A storyteller is born.
