A Mortal Re-birth

in depths
of sorrow…
waves of sadness
ebb and flow
hope-less-ness
sobs and chokes
dragging, dragging
merci-less-ly
dousing internal
embers
flaming heart
and soul.

Tides of dread
rip current
pulling....pulling
deeper
suffocating courage
once known....
gasping,
for mere breath,
gentle moonlight spoke.

Reach higher,
than belief,
past sadness
and all grief.
Created were you
with vast strength,
compassion and loyalty.
A heart that beats
not timid-ly,
but boldly through
all things. Re-birth.

Intently humbled,
heaviness dissipates
upon gentler shores
illuminating weight-less
expectations…….
igniting embers loss.

I, beheld, the flames
of  a mended heart,
and much wiser soul.
A beautiful horizon
gleaming un-apologetically
thru the heights and depths
of our mighty earth.
A Mortal re-birth.
