As I uncurl from womb of Mother Earth 
through tense expression of arrogant wings, 
my soul assumes taut posture of grim prayer 
to contemplate origin of starlight 
while I suckle stories from hills of pain 
to fight against demons my mind invents. 

As I escape from womb of Mother Earth 
by crawling diamond-crusted river bed, 
my soul attempts to grasp flow of sunlight 
that drags me gasping from sea of despair, 
stretched out across jagged mountains of hope, 
to wrestle sorrows my heart designates. 

As I expand from womb of Mother Earth 
with storm-engulfing breath of flashing waves, 
my soul accepts dire limits of moonlight 
defining bold extension of my form 
which I transform with hands of eager faith 
to embrace compassion my eyes respect. 

As I extend from womb of Mother Earth 
on trembling legs of elegant disgrace, 
my soul seeks face of beauty in dark mist 
to find electric source of that life spark 
which glows deep in frail body of my fear 
to generate new life from shocking angst. 

As I stand free from womb of Mother Earth, 
tall as true apple tree on naked hill, 
my soul asserts responsible desire 
to savor sweet warm glamor of sun-rain 
suffusing supple bones of fragile trust 
to name myself as conscious entity. 

As I retreat from womb of Mother Earth 
with fierce intention to explore her space, 
my soul stands upright on her spinning sphere, 
shifting attention of my curious mind 
with strict correction of measurable force 
to focus on structural forms of ideas. 

As I return to womb of Mother Earth 
with discipline of honest self-control, 
my soul acquires through legal precedent 
prime clue of right to exist in this space 
which my heart navigates with secret code 
to evade death who haunts my noble quest. 

As I map way from womb of Mother Earth 
through complex algorithms of free will, 
my soul converts stark horror of despair 
through lithe agility of my dream creed 
with language I design from breathless words 
to translate song of the ocean to love.
