Embryonic Shadows Continue

so far away
so distant

not even between
a blink of the eyes
can this be seen

so far away
so distant
 
my heartbeat

so distant
like a star
very faint in the night sky
many light years away

my embryonic moment
timeless
unseen

virginal seed
sets
me free

joined to
my incarnating mind
I climb the Tree of Life
and watch as the snake
sheds its skin

another heart beats
in the distance
so far away
so distant

An interesting piece

There is a thread of disconcertion throughout this piece. It seems to disconnect the reader from the world, focus on their own existence, and then reconnect with the sound of that one distant heart beat. ~ Ronda
