Welcome to the World.

Sheltered, warm, untouched 

Eyes are closed, not quite able to see

Knows no definitions

Completely pure

Only knows the security of this shelter

Time remains still...

Until a blast of light breaks through

An unknown place,

With unfamiliar sounds

Cold air fills the space

Eyes become open

Over-stimulation all encompassing

Overwhelmed, without clarity

The barrier is broken

What was known became the unknown

To scream is the only reaction

Welcome to the world,

A scary place when eyes are closed;

A beautiful place when eyes are open,

When everything is just new.
