My first crack at Poetry, let me know what you think. |
Looking down this lonely road That now I call my home Who am I, what am I Muffled sounds I hear Strange to my ear This place so dark, wet and warm I float in graceful peace. Silence now surrounds me and I feel the need to sleep. What is this...this pressure? This squeezing pain? It's all around me, crushing me The pressure is unbearable, the pain extreme. Do I see a light? It is light! In the distance, faint and out of focus What can it be! A monster, some evil to end me before I even know me. The pressure the pain, the light coming closer now, no thats wrong, I am being pushed toward the light. This distorted light hurts my eyes I put my hands up for protection I touch a barrier Will this barrier crush me? The sounds are back now, closer; I can almost make out the words Water rushing pass, making my entry into this tunnel easy. OH, the pain, being squeezed, I cannot breath, I am being torn apart. Free! At last, at least I think........it's cold here, so bright, light is all around, my eyes cannot focus Something hits me, what is that sound? Oh, it's me! Screaming, for what I have no clue Despite my screaming, I can hear laughter. Wrapped up snug and warm This place I lay soft A tender crooning voice I hear I wish I could focus, I love this voice reaching my ears So soothing. My eyes can see a little now, Oh; the eyes are so kind, the skin so soft. Utter tenderness, she welcomes me to the world, I don't understand her words, but with tone of voice and expressions of the eyes they tell me of kindness and love I am your Mother, little one. I see a long road, outside what I now call home, waiting for me. I smile and turn to sleep. |
