When The Birth Energy Wears Away

The birth energy and excitement is wearing off as new reality is setting in.
Those first hours and days after birth I felt like absolute magic.
My body!
This power!
Harnessed for a common cause.
But as the excitement wears away, tucked away in its moment in time, my mind wanders to thinking of the body I once had before this.
That doesn’t make me anything but human.
To know that now is the time to let go of, grieve and thank that body, then process and honour and truly enjoy this new one.
My body.
That still and forever holds this power.
