A journey of revival and regeneration |
My strength is gone from me Dissipated, exhausted Swept away, of no use within Fit only for the waste without Nevertheless bravely I hold on Like a seed caught in with winnowed chaff Dried up, forgotten Separated, isolated Thrown out and trampled under Discarded, abandoned No hope in sight Burned by the scorching sun Surely destined to die Of suddenness caught On a wayfaring branch Swept of howling wind A refuge of sorts Oh but soon displaced Separated; and once again alone Driven deep Amidst the earth Pounded, pierced Surely the end is come Then suddenly peace ! Not a sound to be heard Surrounded by moistly darkness Nothing seen, nothing…. By God! I feel my innards quiver Quickening from deep within Pulsing, throbbing Oh it will not stop Nor would I will it to For my parts begin to move! Now throttled from within I push Gaining strength Breaking forth to feel No more the scorching sun But gentle warmth cradling the settled dew A cleansing renewing bath to my soul I’m revived! I’m revived!! From hands that stripped to arms that wrap By forces once gripped now with strength propelled My bruises healed, My spirit raised No more death, or dearth I’m revived! I’m revived !! I’m revived !!! I'm revived to live again….. |
