From the womb this world we enter,
As just a speck and nothing more,
But to ourselves we are the center,
Knowing not what lays in store,
Unaware of life’s deceptions,
Our needs are sought by words unspoken,
Hampered not by life’s perceptions,
In purity, no sins unwroken.
No need exists to seek the night,
For from the dark we are delivered,
Into the day, into the light,
Away from night, of moonbeams slivered.
How quick we leave behind the womb,
And journey forth to death’s entomb.

Hi Tim

life is full of bumps along the way...certainly for most of us...appreciate the thoughts.

I love the imagery you've used in this.  Does it make us want to go back to the beginning?  I don't know, I always wonder about that, like now, when we're "in the thick of it".  I'm saving this one.

Nice way to capture the light
and the subtle movements
that settle in the darkness.
