Rebirth

Within our dark and secret sea Soundlessly we grow In our suspended state With the sure flow Of intravenous drip-feed nutrients providing All we need, A world at peace, The nirvana we were promised. Imagine then our rage When suddenly we are beached To blinding light Into a world Of unintelligible noise In a room where sudden jerky Shadows loom, Menacing and out of focus. Not readily do we know The reasons for our presence there, Not then, and very rarely after. And yet we grope for answers To erroneous fate. So now to seek that blissful state again We curl up in a ball And entering the tide of reverie We set sail to meditate and find The still calm within our beings The truth of origins. We may yet fail, But if the heart sings well, Some notes may form a pure tune To bring us back to peace and harmony.
