Floating in a glowing warmth <br /> Under a constant, hypnotic beating heart. <br />Softly, whispers from distances <br /> Telling of what the future holds. <br /> <br />Unselfish, giving all that is needed <br /> Sustaining all that I am, all that I ever will be. <br />Caring, so no unimaginable harm comes <br /> Wrapping me whole, with your love blanket. <br /> <br />Till the day of reckoning <br /> When I am exposed to the light. <br />Torn from all that I know <br /> A blackened hand of cold, grasping my feet. <br /> <br />No longer protected, safely tucked <br /> Exposed flesh, virgin heart. <br />Comfort becomes chill, froze stiff <br /> Shiver uncontrolled, imagined palsy. <br /> <br />Adaptation formed in immeasurable time, <br /> The damp clay molded ever so softly. <br />Shaped into precast, position determined <br /> Modeled after someone, something invisible. <br /> <br />Till one day, sometime future <br /> All comes full circle, round and smooth. <br />Another womb engulfs me <br /> Wrapping me whole, with your love blanket.<br /><br />Gary Scott Gebert<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/womb/
