The Womb

 

A life giving womb

the womb of warmth

the womb of darkness

the womb of nearness

the womb of protection

let me languish here

do not disturb me

I am safe in this dark

keep me till Spring comes

then launch me to the world

to colour, clouds and sun

then take me back

keep me inside

I want to sleep eternal 

in a womb, a place

of intermittent sleep

the womb of perpetual love

where I am safe

held in a womb of peace

never to be born

only to be

in the womb

never to cease
