The arrival An arrival into the world. No screams or cries of existence, just silence. A stern and uneasy entry for this uteroid. What is this that he now must adapt to? This former safe haven of the womb, warm and nourishing. Insecurity and chills set in now that the endurance test begins. Grunting and sweating under a weary consciousness. Time will erode and weaken the stability, this false sense of innocence. Now conscious, nothing can be certain, question all. Who are these people that constantly stare and speak non-sensically to this perturbed being? So much seeming with little known. Experiences that will reveal the realities and horrors that will await him in time.

									Conversation Never a conversation of significant depth or catharsis, Of which extracts of existence are savored in moderation. The momentary awareness of a divine peace of mind In an unstable world too frantic for any constant serenity. These words and descriptions of random matters, Voiced and articulated expressions of the everyday, Attempts to find some meaning in what has been said Since beings first listened to the echoes of others. Absorbed exchanges of ideas and insights Often leading to nothing further than a vapid memory, Yet a minority develop into something more, Changes to the perceptions of an individual, Movements toward actions that alter the path, The direction of this hesistant life in transition. The variable perspective eager to be molded From a spark of dialogue between two ears. THL
