Born Into This Verse

Born into this verse,
I feel my way,
gasping for air.

The light is dim
and my eyes only
part way open.

My heart beats
strong but fast
in this uncertain place.

Stunned to have arrived
and emerging slowly
from long gestation,

I have been nourished
by floating words,
formed by images

of fluid possibility,
expelled to tell
what I know

of the former milieu
and apply it to
what is yet to come.

my 3rd attempt;-) Beautiful prophetic verse birthed in your spirit with the faith of possibility. Wonderful work Dawn!

So biblical, the power in the word, especially verbalised aloud. Writing is like giving birth, definitely. And words are seed, having all of life's potential within them. Your amniotic fluid must have been visionary! :)) Love the spirit of prophecy in this too, linking what is past with what is to come. Beautiful in concept and in execution. TY Kate xx
