The sky threw a lavish
Gender reveal party

Baby blue and
Soft pink layers
Of chantilly cream
Spread across a
Grand sponge cake
Made in a celestial
Bakery

Steaming saucers
Of milk stood ready
For a sweet delicacy
Tucked behind
The froth of faraway
Espresso clouds

The world waited
And marveled at the
Blue and pink
Alternating above

Boy or girl
Boy or girl

The question rippled
Through the
Sea of dawn

As the promise of a
New day
Brushed away the stars
And at five thirty am
The dark mountains
Parted –

A glorious burst of gold:
The Sun
Was
Born
