Birth Song
Release me, O Sea
salt-water womb
from your dark chaos
birth me
on the rising tide
yearning for the moon
on the rock
there is safety
I long for dry land
keep my breath close
from your bound molecules
from your unbearable density
release me, O Sea
born me and toss me
to the safety of the land
Pamela Olson, 6/3/08
This was poem was inspired
by the painting by Rick Mobbs
