Return To the Womb
Come with me this very minute
Go back to the womb right now
Attach yourself to an umbilical cord
Swing from four or more for security
Stay warm inside the embryonic fluid
Parade there where life begins again
Swim there where people emerge as friends
Take a flashlight... It could be slippery when wet
Remember, the womb is a sacred place
Move cautiously in the dark or you might drown
Don't make it your personal playground
Take your maturity seriously before you leave
Leave the same way you came
Grow up and out of it when finished
Make room for others less fortunate
Give birth a second chance.. a place for growth
(a womb with a view would be nice)
Remember your happy place remains
Stay in touch with it...but not too much
