The unborn


                                        Bloom in the womb
                                   Uniting two different cells
                             Into invisible human personhood
                            A pearl in shell of flesh and blood
                              A symphony of countless notes 
                                 Marching towards maturity
                                Silently waiting for the door
                                   With comfort and ease

                                Soft like breeze, tender like dew
                                 With beauty of dawn and dusk 
                            The little soul eats, moves and beats
                                         But does not breath
                              With genes creating a distinct self
                                    promising a gifted persona
                             A scientist, artist, explorer, reformist
                               The lustrous life is all personified

                               Living in the abode of love and joy
                                An eternal reflection of creativity
                             An expression of unbroken continuity
                                 Much before the times of Adam 
                                In the realm of human existence
                                   The beginning of a new song
                             With notes of trust, hope and resolve
                           Enhancing every moment by epigenesis 
 
                                Escaping the pitiless and the pill
                                      Treating the budding life
                          As a by-product of carnal entertainment 
                          Continuing the journey from the organic
                         To inorganic world of vagaries and whims
                           Yet to know how to flirt with the world
                         The unborn is confident and assured that
                           The Creator is the perpetual protector
