Lexis Art 3

Muffled sounds about me
I am warm and secure inside
Darkness completely surrounds me
For now I have no reason to hide

Comfort is what I will miss
Within this small place I exist
Once born I shall carry my own
No longer resting upon her bones

My first breath will take me into this life
If only I knew what pain and what strife
Would I not leave this warm lovely place
If only to see my mother’s face

I will not remember any of this
Nor will I take these feelings of bliss
Until the day I too create a life

So the cycle continues
Only memories remain
To the life of a child
Not a human stain.
