We are land creatures,but envious of
birds and fish,
who move through their
domains effortlessly,
(or so it seems).
We rarely return
to that primordial state
when, in our mother's womb,
we floated in the
amniotic liquid
like there was no tomorrow.
Yet, in these moments of fear
and passion we can no
longer look at our
ourselves but rather
become immeshed in the
event itself,
only, upon recovery,
to be reminded
that we are mortal and conscious.
