Coming in to the world

July 9, 1994 — Filed under: mypoems

Coming in to the world Virgin Sacrificial lamb Pure white, with nigh eve notions Raised in fields of green No wolf to raise suspicions Only the soft hand that caresses your smooth wool Those starry nights Filled with peace Thinking the whole world is just one big picture The other side of the white picket fence Green lined with trees Those delightful clumps Of cover, so sweet to the taste Those days were filled with life Until that moment of ceremony Led by women in flowing gowns The crown of daisies Melodious hors were blown in your honor You thought you would live forever Even when the last glimmering spark glistened off the swards polished edge.
