Begins

Life Begins

Life begins at the conception of two bodies intertwined 
Two heartbeats steadily in love, half him, half her
Life begins at the time my heart skipped a beat, as if the world told me, "yes, that's the one," as if it is shouting "you are me and I am thee" 
All the pieces of an unsolved puzzle fitting together piece by piece, sketched line by solid line, chiseled as in the days of David's statue: a vision the mind once created come to fruition 
Yes, life began as a twinkling in the eye
To even think that this could ever be
True, faith is a substance that is hoped for, like air to lungs, or water to tongue
It's a necessity to know where it all began
With the brightest sunrise, and the deepest sunset, moonshine over the blackest waters: sparkling, shimmering, elegant 
It began with a word
