Haven

Oh mother…

I stepped out

of my shell

Now this world

is my cell,

I see faces;

Ravenous,

Coming for me

Ah!

Where do I flee?

 

Oh mother…

Where have you been?

See,

They’ve been waiting for me

Today,

I’m their key!

 

Alas!

Can’t trace my steps back,

The path’s full of cracks

 

Oh mother…

Come save me,

I only trust thee!

    This was wonderfully beautiful lovely. I love how you noted stepping out of a shell and into a cell, the world is our prison metaphor. There’s nothing safer than a mothers love.🌹

  9. This is wonderful Soiba 🙂 I keep following you but wordpress keeps dropping you off my list. So, if you see me “follow” you every so often this is why. It’s not just you it does this with, it does it with any blog I follow. It’s done this to me ever since I started the blog. I don’t know why and WP doesn’t have an answer either. I pray your weekend is full of blessings 🙂
