OctPoWriMo2019 Day 27 — Across the Universe

Posted by Lisa or Li on

 

I am from what was not to what I am
From open arms of she I can’t describe
Of bone and blood and skin and soul I am
Before I was inert and now alive
Origin-al mystery’s telegram
Glitters travel across the universe
Returning to her at the end’s traverse

      Thanks Lael. I was trying to say “The Mysterious Mother, from which all things spring and to which all things return” which is right from the Tao Te Ching, in another way.
