Determination

This earth spins

In its dark natal space

Aching

To be born.

Fetal position

Still it grows

Basic functions not yet

Ready.

Vastness cradles

Holds us knowing

Our fragile lightness

Our near to nothingness.

We hear, kick, spin, wonder

What it is like

To be truly

Creatures of the Universe.
