Umbilical
The light of lost mothers shon
Like umbilical cords upon the belly buttons of their children as their grandchildren tried to climb back inside their mothers tummies,
Wanting to be foetal once more, protected from this giant earths stage floor.
As the love and light was called upon by their father's from their forefathers, angels and God of love himself.
