0oooooooooo Transparent Buoyancy oooooooooo0

hey!
where am i?
who am i ?
what am i doing here
in this...this...
bubble?
floating around
inside...inside ...
what the heck am i
inside!
it feels like it's alive.
it sustains me,
holds me
keeps me
feeds me.
protects me.
i feel this strange
sense of being.
being alive
being aware...
of myself
like a spirit.
a living soul.
the things outside
and inside
of this cell,
this bubble
this...this...
transparent buoyancy!
(what ever that means
I have no idea,)
but it sure does
sound like what is
happening to me.

i don't even know
where I came from
or where i'm going
all i know
is that i exist.
i have been conceived
(i think)
i am being fed
and now I grow and grow
and become more
aware of myself
and my watery surroundings.
you know what?
i think ... i kind of
like it in here.
it's so nice, and
cozy and safe.
i feel safe in here.
i hope i could stay
here forever.
though i'm not sure
if this is possible,
'cause i'm growing fast.
in fact,
just a while ago
i didn't have these...these...
things
sticking out for me.
come to thing of it,
just a while ago ,
i didn't even exist.
where did i come from
anyway.
i could hear
sounds and voices
from outside.
i could feel
excitement
anticipation.
it's almost as if
i am being expected.
but expected for what?!
i like it in here.
i don't want to go out
there!
it might be scary.
i prefer to stay in
this...this...
transparent buoyancy
(there are those two BIG words again.)
still,
i have the strangest feeling
that i won't be in here
forever.
well, who knows
maybe it won't be
that scary after all
You know.
maybe it'll be fun
out there.
maybe it'll be adventurous
maybe it'll be cool.
well, i guess i will
just have to wait
and see.
meanwhile, i'll just
sit here and enjoy
my watery world
and wonder about all
the sounds i hear
and all the feelings
i feel from
the one who
contains me.
sometimes i can feel when my
sustainer is happy,
sometimes sad,
sometimes worried,
but most of the time
my sustainer is
happy and glad.
glad that
someone is growing inside.
that's me,
in a
transparent buoyancy
(what ever that means.)
