Afterbirth

alone
floating in
amniotic fantasy
tides of fate caressing
fragile reality
contemplating
a not yet navel

stranger
to internal tide
creating my own wake
drawn and drafted
on peaceful waves
soon to break

thrust
from one reality
into another
retreating back into
an amnesia centesis:
a womb with a view

A very special one, Bart... I especially loved "a womb with a view:
Its too bad that we can't remember our own births....it must be an exhilirating but scary experience!

Great minds think alike!! I posted this almost 2 years ago..

Womb With a View

If I could have had a womb with a view,
A small, tiny window that I could look through
To get a wee glimpse of the world I would know
Would I be excited or not want to go?

If I had a preview of what lay in store
The moment one passes through Life's opened door
Would I be content to be pulled out with pride
Or consider it best to have just stayed inside?

Would I have come willing, so eager to see
The wonderful world waiting out there for me
Or would every soul in the ward hear me shout
"Forget it, you people! I ain't coming out!!!"
