Poetic Verses

Sadly, Silently And Unknown

In an embryonic state it slept
never knowing the rhythmic beat of it's own heart
nor the breath of life

A configuration of cells it began
a genetic mass not able to become - life
A beginning and an end all on it's own

And while our hearts beat
and with each breath we took
by nature it was swept away
sadly, silently and unknown - alone
