Infant's Own

Darkness, the wind rushes in my ear,
I cannot see But I feel
And I long to know you are there.
I am in pain, you do not know
Selfishly you see your own.

The journey has begun
It is a long descent down.
The light I see it,
Reaching for me
Noise and confusion
How I wish I could flee

I am not warm but cold, I gasp and hold,
Instinct says keep still
My heart beats delicately
Held so strangely by one I cannot see

For my eyes shut tight against that blinding light
I stay still no more
I must fight and so with all of my might I let it go,
My mighty cry!

Now I wait for the world to stand still
And when it does
No longer is there a chill
But a voice reaches my ear
And hands that feel so right
Hold me very near
The voice that I know to be true
Cuddles me, Whispers I love you.
