The start of life

 

Tentative breathing breaking into action

Hot breath down soft skin

Eyes bright with vivid fascination

Seeking the maker, the kin.

Towing a mind of innocent naivety

Asking to learn much from this world

Rowing a boat in this grey sea

Telling us there’s much to transpire.

Overflowing emotions fighting in the air

Floundering to overcome each other

Living in this kind of emotive snare

Is why life has such power.

Finding such pure virginity

Ends life’s agony.
