Umbilical

Even before we pass into this world,

Before the first life-breath invades our breast,

A bond of attachment is formed in the mind,

Bred in the heart, in the womb where we rest.

 

Breaking free only means changing our course

And direction. Freedom itself is benign.

Certain connections can never be broken.

Some things can never be left behind.

 

Trading in secrets of youthful dimension,

Bargaining, bartering, striving to grow,

Trace the umbilical to its beginning.

The past tells the future which way it must go.
