SONOGRAM

The baby has been still now
For several days or more
So we've come to this strange moment
And bravely we explore.
The ultra-sound petition
Is an anxious, wordless plea:
And the silent noise returns
To paint your dark topography

With a whisper through your being
That craves a counter claim.
We seek answers in the image
Of this alien terrain.
While we're praying for the best
And preparing for the worst,
I still marvel this is you,
This amazing universe.

Encompassed in the scope we see
A private empty place,
And the pucker of a crater,
And the truth it might embrace.
We ignore the Doppler waveforms
That up and downward knife....
Look! The echo of a heartbeat,
The reflection of a life!
