The Beginning...

wading the waters i pushed my way struggling hard to touch the land held upside down, was my first view of the world i’m to pass by washed and tidied, i lie lost and helpless a pair of hands cuddled me close… i had nothing else but to pinch all that i needed from her merciless at my demand, i howled and cried with not a dropp of tear filled to brim, i would slip into the world unknown to all… slowly with the manna as my diet i began to move the little i could getting habituated to wail and demand not a moment did i give her rest demanding her constant presence regaling as she gathered me… suddenly one night in the middle of an innocent sleep did i turn on my belly i lie waking her up in glee she drew me to her as a gift at that independent movement on that long infant summer night… i kept smiling in that mystic glee my hands splashing and cuddling the damp sheets did my tender hands carry into my mouth, comfort lit large on my infant face as the body recalled the touch of the warm flow… somebody sat by my baby bed touched me on my toes a tickle went up soft tender lips as a reflex filled the infant face and ripples of light flowed in… what was it i was writing in the thin air around me? what memories left behind did the infant mind recall? i smiled and smiled as my little fingers went writing in the air… somebody lifted me up into the air my small lungs struggled and gasped all around me were peals of laughter… somebody wrapped me into a bundle and held me close to heart against the chill winds and the hold tightened around me with each wave of chillness i dreamed warm infant dreams… from the dreams i crawled into the world on my belly one hand folded under it i went round and round i leaped and leaped and hit my nose against the floor… 28jan2010 14.20hrs
