Amniotic Waters of Life

AMNIOTIC WATERS OF LIFE

A Poem by Michael Woodhead
Copyright © 1971, 2024


Amniotic waters of life
Keep me from the outer-world strife
Waiting only
Feeling lonely
Lost in the womb of wife

Still I wander in my sleep
Where the One Mind only creeps
There on blue seas
In the new trees
Where I watch and wait and weep

Amniotic waters of life
Save me from the keen-edged knife
Which is waiting
Not unsating
All of the blood of Life
