Mitochondrial Eve <br />Within the heart of Me <br />Is the Mother of my kind <br />She IS the feminine Mind. <br /> <br />She came to me and told me tales <br />Of Adam's rib and primordial snails <br />And lighting strikes and storms of hail. <br /> <br />And when She did attempt <br />To return the extra rib. <br />This mortal man earth bound, <br />Was no where to be found. <br />So off she flew to heaven <br />And listened for the sound. <br /> <br />Soon She heard the heart beat <br />Within Her very soul <br />As She watched the birth <br />Of humankind silently unfold<br /><br />Lynne FincherSpringarden<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/mitochondrial-eve/
