My Body is a Temple
by Michele Schottelkorb
Within skin cells lives a place
Deep within this inner space
Further down a garden row
Further in his seed did sow
Enter a womb of tranquil light
Enter colours: pink, blue and white
Worship the wee one growing strong
An age of worship ever long
Particles burgeon inside my round
Burgeon touch, sense, sight and sound
This Temple embraces the key to Life
The Temple of Woman, Mother, and Wife. 01/24/2005 Author's Note: the one place all humans worship in kind... the Temple of a mother's womb... Writing assignment from a writing group I belong to yielded this piece... the first I have written for the little one... without this "Temple", our kind would cease to exist...

| Posted by Philip F De Pinto on 01/26/05 at 01:31 PM the great experiment has failed, men have ruled the world too long, it is time they abdicate to women, give them a chance to turn this egoistic thing around to a place better suited for gentility. MIchele, you rule. |
| Posted by Sarah Graves on 01/26/05 at 09:50 PM This is a really beautiful portrayl of life, a woman's life that is.. and the miracle of birthing life.. all three roles being equally important. Great job once again Michele :) |

| Posted by Max Bouillet on 01/30/05 at 03:59 PM The mystery of life is in your belly... a temple to life, a sanctuary for the universe, a haven for the future, and an uncomfortable nine months to try and bear all this in mind while secretly wishing that that pregnancy wouldn't last quite so long. |
