A Sacred Place

Life giving womb, silent and sacred
mystical, blood red, embryo connected
cords from umbilicus, abstract limbo
unborn life, undiscovered, now growing. 






Stanza from “Lexi’s Preconceived Womb”

WoW! Laura, I am compelled to see the write these four amazing lines were taken from. I agree that womb is a sacred place. Having a life grow inside you is a miracle indeed. Best wishes in the contest:-) Alexis
