The Original Dream

I am meant to be walking

through light towards darkness

towards an end

the silence

of a thought

half-made waiting

birth

what I imagine

is to be

read 

for the very first time

ripples

some itsy-bitsy silver spider slit

of luminosity 

leaked

the infinite maw

of recognition

when a few foolish stars wink

my appearance on stage

If we could ever go back and revisit a time, then this would be it. Maybe an hour before the waterside into existence toward disappointment, so that I could remember that cocoon of warmth and just being before all the drama begins.
It must have been nice, because ever since that moment I've been a right grumpy git, whining and moaning that I didn't ask to be born.
To be honest I was probably a moaner in the womb too and if thoughts did cross my mind, it was probably that it was a bit small, which led to a lifetime of disliking confined space, which funnily enough is one of my favourite things to moan about. 😊

i completely understand Lorry, I too was most likely a reluctant eviction from the womb.
