Laura Leiser Poet Free verse

Sacred Womb

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

Enclosed in the confines of limited space
haven from the world, as yet unknown 
unborn life, feeding moment by moment
living lines and altering shapes, ever reliant.

Cover the little child, unborn, in love
keep it protected, now undisturbed
freedom in birth, to live and to breathe
hope for the future, this new life, to live.
