In The Stillness

By Lunaria

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. ©Copyright All Rights Reserved Lila May Guptill (AKA) Lunaria
