as far back as one may go
to a liquid connected world of warmth
tendrils touching long lost memories
in a quiet invasion of inner solitude
slowly opening aperture of awareness
loosening the confines of darkness
first breath
ignites the fire of life
first thoughts
embrace time's start
first eyes
open into the layered fog
first words
declare the reason to exist
first steps
cross the river and go beyond
into this universe
into your world
