Barbara Ariss - Rebirth - To Be Or Not To Be

By Barbara Ariss-Stroh-Wasser

WE ARE
An eternal cycle
With no beginning
And no end,

Where and when
Invisible particles
Combine into liquid
To nourish with solids
From the barren soil
THE SEEDS OF LIFE.

Where and when
Red rivers
Prepare a female's womb
FOR THE EMBRYO"S HOME,

Where and when
The sacrifice of blood
Long ago and now
FREES ETERNAL ENERGY

Where and when
The body enters the ground.

• Barbara Ariss-Stroh-Wasser was born in Eastern Europe, raised and educated in Western Europe, and has lived the majority of her life in Canada.
