Mnemosyne

Mnemosyne (goddess of memory and mother of the Muses)  

Memory is 
The mother of the Muse 

She beckons 

Submerged experiences 

Hidden deep in

Our cells, so they say

She nurtures them through 

The umbilical cord

Which ties to the Self

Events long forgotten 

Till they grow strong enough to 

Twitch
Wriggle

Kick

Our consciousness

Then she coaxes them from 

Comfortable obscurity

Down the birth canal 

Into the light 

Red-faced and screaming

They live again

In words
