Out From

Birth brings us here naked and helpless

Out from the warm and watery womb

Rare wrinkled things mute and powerless

Fresh miracles born ready to bloom

Life calls us here ad hoc and voiceless

Out from the mute and aeonic there

Cute cooing things soft and ambrosial

Sweet neonates in need of great care

Life leaves us here candid and reckless

Out from the faint and nebulous dark

Lost looney things raw and majestic

Grand hominids on a short-lived lark
