Lexis Art 3

Muffled sounds about me I am warm and secure inside Darkness completely surrounds me For now I have no reason to hide Comfort is what I will miss Within this small place I exist Once born I shall carry my own No longer resting upon her bones My first breath will take me into this life If only I knew what pain and what strife Would I not leave this warm lovely place If only to see my mother’s face I will not remember any of this Nor will I take these feelings of bliss Until the day I too create a life So the cycle continues Only memories remain To the life of a child Not a human stain.
