Passage Poem by Kim Schilling

Passage across Mother’s supple belly
are calm amber glows on translucent eyes;
as gentle lullabies soothe beating heart
soft waves rock me to sleep without a care.

Fortification from harm in this warmth;
existence between mother and her child.
Drawing life from you, I gather my strength
in preparation for journey ahead.

From my slumber I’m slowly awakened
enveloped by walls closing in on me.
Whoosh! My head emerges from its safety
as passage to cold freedom is gained fast.

“I am here, World! ” I cry with a sputter.
And so begins my life as an idol.
