The womb

THE WOMB　

I was the progeny

A seed

In a sea dark and warm

Floating

Folded around myself

Lulled into dream

Knowing

Another’s’ heartbeat

I could not see the face

Holding me within

That place of a kinder oblivion

I did not know the world

That was to be

The light that was to blind

And steal me into my mortality

I am a seed

Floating

In a sea dark and cold

A Soul they say

Folded around myself

Unable to see again

The face that  held me within

Soon I will be ripped away

Once more

Leaving myself behind

Blind in the light

of

Another oblivion
