Dark Womb Space
For a long time, my inner "womb space" was my ultimate refuge, a place of pure creation and safety. This poem delves into what happens when even that sacred comfort starts to hold us back. It's a raw look at the internal struggle of stagnation, and the powerful, subtle journey of realising that true wholeness means letting the hidden aspects of ourselves emerge, not by rejecting the dark, but by allowing it to embrace the light.

To my sacred dark womb space, I speak
The sanctuary, holding me, nurtured and safe.
Your darkness, a gentle embrace,
Your Mother presence, I seek...I crave.
Within my blessed, divine, sacred womb,
I deeply know
The intimate current of this protective flow.
A warm and fluid space where I am swayed,
Where my new self unfolds,
Quietly taking shape.
The deep, still dark, itself heaven made.
In this creative, dark womb space,
My inner child comes out to play.
Away from the world’s judging eyes
Imagination unleashed…undeterred
No limits cast, no shadows feared.
My only witness, my soul revered
Yet, even in the cherished darkness of my womb space,
Where solace is truly found
Comfort stops the light’s natural flow
Because you see,
In darkness, light exists,
A truth, I come to know
And both are vital for me to truly grow
The sacred quiet of the dark womb space,
Once my soul’s fervent embrace
In stagnation, slowly fades,
The boundless dark, a comfort too deep,
Towards the light, my true self begins to creep
I feel the slow contractions within my dark womb space,
A gentle push towards the birthing light
And a known pull, back to what feels right
The familiar in the unseen
Naturally seeking expression in the seen.
What is hidden always finds release.
The same darkness within my sacred womb space
Finds its own reflection with grace
In its majestic light, it now enfolds
Darkness and light, a story to be told
My dark womb space, a place to create
Birthing into the light to complete its fate
An inner melody…
Where shadow and light embrace
