My soul, and hers, entwined
With each heart beating soft and low
Two lives, in one, combined

I heard the murmur of her voice
And felt her gently sway
As, tenderly, she carried me
Within her, through each day

She bore me as a mother will
In joyfulness and pain
Then held me close against her breast
My life there to sustain

And though my newborn eyes were dim
My senses yet unfurled
I gazed upon her loveliness
My life, my heart, my world

(I`ve ne`er beheld a smile so sweet
Nor yet a face so fair
A vision hewn from misted pearl
With eyes beyond compare)

I felt her love envelop me
Protective as I grew
Oh, she was everything to me
Was all I ever knew

And through my childhood`s magic years
Of innocence and light
No clouds were there to hide the sun
No everlasting night

But then ..... she chose to end her life
(The misted pearl waxed grey)
And the liquefaction of her soul
Left mine to fade away

(If only I could see her now
And touch her once again,
Then I would surely be reborn,
Slip back from whence I came)

Cradled deep in my mother`s womb
My soul, and hers, entwined
With each heart beating soft and low
Two lives, in one, combined

I heard the murmur of her voice
And felt her gently sway
As, tenderly, she carried me
Within her, through each day

She bore me as a mother will
In joyfulness and pain
Then held me close against her breast
My life there to sustain

And though my newborn eyes were dim
My senses yet unfurled
I gazed upon her loveliness
My life, my heart, my world

(I`ve ne`er beheld a smile so sweet
Nor yet a face so fair
A vision hewn from misted pearl

(The misted pearl waxed grey)
And the liquefaction of her soul
Left mine to fade away

(If only I could see her now
And touch her once again,
Then I would surely be reborn,
Slip back from whence I came)
