In The Stillness

In the stillness of dawn
I sit with my night clothes on
Looking out in a daze
At the cob-webbed colored haze

My town drank the early morning sun
Before my morning chores were done
While I sat a long time in reverie
Visiting in my mind every

Place I had ever been in life
Before I had become a wife
Before  even I was  born
Now there's a time that I mourn

The womb. A dark and lonely place
Where I could see no ones face
I could only hear muffled voices
And I had not any choices

I have not moved from my spot
Remembering all that I forgot
As the sun set o'er my town
I lay my old weary head down

Good night.
