THE WOMB

The Heavenly news of spring dew,

Living being in a curved womb,

A fresh flower, ready to bloom,

Divine angle grows within you.

Granted plea of future parent,

Idyllic partner of playful siblings,

Set for lots of batting & dribbling,

Wheeze a refreshing fragrance.

Long wait of nine months,

Newborn enters in to a divine earth,

Mother’s pain gets its worth,

Wholeness achieved by divine wreath.

A colourful rainbow following heavy rain,

Memoirs breathe babyhood again,

Nostalgia, to relive and refrain,

God’s pious gift for the next human chain.

From Nothing to Everything

Once

‘Nothing’ feels nothing

‘Nothing’ meets ‘Anything’

‘Anything’ finds something in ‘Nothing’

‘Nothing’ becomes ‘Mrs. Something’

‘Mrs. something’ gives birth to ‘everything’

And she becomes little everything’s everything.
