One Lucky Soul: The Womb

Omar Cherif, El Ein El Sokhna, Red Sea in February 2022, The Womb, One Lucky Soul

Morning sunshine on her skin
Warms her down deep within

Feeling joyful with every sunset
Like an otter diving to the sound of a trumpet

Mother Nature is well alive
Breathing and buzzing ask the bee hive

Can you feel her in the eyes of your pet?
A shining soul is what you get

Maybe in the sweet giggle of a child?
O’ Life, you terribly magnificent ride

Perhaps hear her in the timeless waves?
Echoing through the endless caves

Dear Moon, shine high and bright
Fan my lunacy with every sight

Give us rain, thunder, and rainbow
Ease the pain and teach me to let go

Companion of the Djinn, Siren, Nymph, and Mermaid
Will you, beautiful, come to my aid?

Lost in a maze of my own doing
Biting faster than any possible chewing

Hallucinating mere illusions
Allusions driven by delusions

You see: Thinking Allowed Is Aloud
Solitude makes you wonder why mortals feel proud

Can you save me from myself
Or is it too much to ask?
Let the leprechaun be an elf
Mayhap that’s an easier task.
