The Beginning of the end

By heinzs

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The Beginning of the End Darkness, pressure increasing - the steady lub-dub no longer in familiar rhythm and fading away. Can't kick, legs tangled - arms bound by some external barrier. What is this new sensation? LIGHT! The murmuring voices become louder as if no longer muffled by a liquid sea. An irresistible urge ... to breathe! Lungs fill to capacity - what freedom! Cry for joy! "It's a girl!" The nurse places the now silent newborn upon mom's belly and their eyes meet... for the first time! 2-6-2002 Written February 6th, 2002 © on Feb 06 2002 06:36 AM PST, Heinz Scheuenstuhl    0 • 10
