  Child rushing to life
            embryo in a nest
Joyous spirit rushing
            hearing the voice calling
Soft, fragile, hopes
            imploring come, come alive
Love nest
            I am in the womb
Nest of love dreams
            I am getting ready
Nest of broken dreams
           to leave my nest
Wedding dress white
            to begin my journey down
Cloak of beauty dreams
            the earth is calling
Rich in tenderness
            the pull is gripping me
So tender, so heartful
            my body shivers and groans
Crashing down
            the voice keeps calling me
Voice of reason
            urging me to continue
Bleeding, waking, losing
            it’s dark
I do – panic, I do
            there’s rocking, and rustling
Falling forever
            the nest is a shroud which fed and comforted me
Blood broken
            now I have to leave it behind
The secret of my heart
            it’s darker now
in that terrible space
            the voice has disappeared
That nest of broken love dreams
            time entering, what world?
Am I dead?
            of dream, birth, death?
Or am I born?
            figures through the web.
