The Womb Beyond
Before I saw, I learned to name the dark,
As “is” and “is not,” drawn in fragile lines;
Like hands that trace the edges of a spark,
Yet never grasp the fire that truly shines.
***
Beyond my thought, something vast remains,
Unseen, like oceans pressing into shell;
Its distant pulse moves softly through my veins,
A truth I feel, yet cannot fully tell.
***
I live enclosed, like seeds beneath the soil,
Believing earth and darkness are the whole;
Unknowing of the sky beyond this coil,
Or winds that wait to carry forth the soul.
***
Like one once held within a hidden womb,
Who never saw the vastness of the sky,
Yet felt faint echoes through the gentle gloom,
A distant life that slowly drifted by.
***
And even now, in stillness, I can feel
A subtle pull, like tides I cannot see;
A silent force that does not speak, yet real,
A hidden door that waits to open me.
***
What I call end may be a breaking free,
Like shells that crack to let new life begin;
Not fall to void, but vast immensity,
A wider world than I have lived within.
***
Death is not loss, but like a wave’s return,
That slips again into the endless sea;
No part is gone, though forms may twist and turn,
But change into a deeper mystery.
***
And when I wake beyond this fleeting frame,
This life may seem a dream I drifted through;
A flickering light, a softly whispered name,
Before I reached a dawn forever new.
