Wandering

sorenbarrett

Mountain torn from desert drawn to sea, dreams grew.

Waves beckon, coaxed closer to shoreline.

Feet walking dry now sticky, sand wet.

Move upon move ever closer to edge.  

Pulled by undertow to where life began.

A siren's call to return to the womb.

              Wonder how many have wandered the land, then ran back to mum.
              Let me back in, mum, I don't like it out there.
              Mind you, I wanted back in when I realised after the first day of primery school I had to go back the next day.

                Thanks so much Paul for the read and comment. Yes got the feeling. We all return to the womb if you would sooner or later and from that some think we are reborn others feel it will be a stillbirth

              • Tristan Robert Lange

                My friend, this is powerful…the desert bones, the wet sand, the undertow calling the body back to its origin. You captured that mythic pull with real elegance. Beautiful work, Soren. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦‍⬛

                    • Doggerel Dave

                      I confess to that almost mystical pull exerted over me when close by the ocean sometimes. Forceful.

                      • sorenbarrett

                        Thanks Dave I too having been born inland was pulled to the sea. Appreciate the read and comment my friend
