Birth Canal

. Our birth most likely will not be the last trauma that we will experience. We will face other unknowns at some time in our life.

 The beats of sound

The darkness

In time the darkness and sounds become familiar

It becomes home!

After a while, home starts to become too small

It is time to move on

It is time to leave the comfort of “home”!

Ups and downs

Twists and turns

Forced into a bigger arena
unknown, unfamiliar, shocking

Strange and frightening sounds

Fear, skepticism, rejection, grief, self-pity
now rule the psyche

Nothing can be done but cry!
A cry of: what has been destroyed
A cry of: why me?
A cry of: why now?

Cries finally fade out
small eyes eventually open up

Will it be smiling faces welcoming
or
will it be angry and unsupportive faces?

Wow, this is marvelous, Shervin. I see this as less about babies and more about our paths we are on in this herky jerky funny sad scary adventure. I'd really be interested in what you had in your mind for those last three lines: "Will it be ........." because I am intrigued about if you mean the faces of others around the adult person crying? or the face of that adult crying person's cathartic (smiling) or dissolutioned (angry) face? Maybe you can message me your vision? This is a tighly-crafted piece of wisdom poetry. Thanks :) ~~ Diana

'Ups and downs
twists and turns
a cry of why me'
where is the
answer, if there is any!
But this: there is hope,
keep the faith!
Well done, Shervin!

I already commented on this poem in the articles section. Let's hope that last line occurs very infrequently.

Our births are only the beginning of everything unknown to us. To some babies birth is unwanted and the abuse will begin. Sad, but true.
