back into the ooze
when we were swimming carefree

Perhaps
The remnant
of the one celled amoeba
Still transcending the primordial ooze 
Sucking sustenance from the
Oozing awakening
Of life

Unspoken words,
impatient inside,
celled in the heart in hesitation,
to be lettered or messaged
from the mind.
Courage will be the communication
where fear is the wall.
"Sorry to disturb you....."

The unseen miracles you can feel
the spirit force that gently heals,
the soul that makes us humankind
that seeks to hold a faith divine.

An unseen miracle started life's show
from tiny one celled speck we grow,
reaching limitless imagination
that makes miracles from fascination.

around the lobes
of my being

Where I could

pride eternally
Like a sickle celled body I am 
pale 
but I survived to fight another 
day cocooned in a coma 
I can still hear my mother pray 
Murmuring and mumbling words 
of hope 
a sister crying out to gods please 
let my brother live 
Walking towards light but 
something pulling me the opposite...
