Birth

BIRTH Just all of a sudden From nowhere it seems This fresh new force invades the eye Circles the iris Plumps the breast Rides the living vein Taking on its own peculiar color and natural voice Thence to mind Joining those unsolved mysteries Finally only to be given up With blind acceptance

Daver, this is very interesting.. at first i thought it was a child entering into this world of so many mysteries.. but, who is this intruder indeed... well maybe this force should retreat back.. lol... enjoyed your poem,,..p.d.

Your description of birth is remarkable, Daver. And those last two lines are quite provocative. Very thought-provoking poem, dear friend. Love, Carolyn
