With Child



With Child

I am with child
Not of nature
But of testimony
There has been an
Undeniable union
Between my pen and pad
Which has conceived word
From which word has found
It’s mate in sacred matrimony
Music
The infusion of the two
Flow from my lips
Like a never ending river
Giving birth to my testimony
I am with child
I began to ovulate
Through struggle and pain
My seed was then fertilized
From the tears that
Rained
The embryo of heartache
In my belly it not rest
But lay heavily
In the bosom of my chest
I endured a trying
But triumphant pregnancy
To give birth to
Comfort and confidence
To the listeners
In my audience
I am with child
My child: WORD
Is full of that af
LOVE!
It wears it courageously fly
Fitting like the perfect
GLOVE!
Love is All
Without it
You will fall
It was the most
Significant factor
In my child's upbringing
Ya’ll
I am with child
This child has been Raised up
Strong and powerful
Despite the fact
That there were many
Who were doubtful
Of it’s poignant recital
I am with child
Many battles
Of strife
Of Life
Revealed
It can not be tainted
For the love
Of Jesus Christ
It encompasses
Surely WILL
And HAS Healed
I am with child
Is fully grown
Learning prosperously
Through life’s obstacles
To achieve its goals
In the same token
It has found a love
Of it’s own
I give my child away
To the marriage of music
And the boundaries are
Unknown
So love genuinely
And your heart
Not have to seek
Because the heart
Is a magnet for
Similarity
I am with child

Howard Clark

A tail tell of loss that transitioned into triumph. I, Howard Clark, am the renaissance man that artistically curates generations through writing and song. Having somewhat of a supernatural muse, I fluently create. Leaving the imagination to ponder on much, I keep the audience wanting more. Welcome to my world  more…
