A poetic piece describing the transformation that time causes within us
Past mistakes, fallen,

Had withered me away.

Left me lifeless and bare

At least for that day.

The pain of yesterday,

From which I couldn't run,

Chilled me to the bones-

With no reprieve from the sun

I sought for a break

Just some warmth to be had

But the more I looked

The more I became sad

My heart became colder

And more dreary too

The more I fought it

The more the storm grew

I froze for months

In my own murky place

I couldn't find the pleasure

I'd been trying to chase

The desperation set in

It was the worst of nights

The winter snap of heart

Had clutched my chest tight

I'd never felt a pain

So real and concluding

I thought for sure I was dead

From the pain that'd been brooding

But I woke up soon after

Different than before

The sun SHONE thru my eyes

Cause I realized there was more

Than the pain that had been

Swallowing me for way too long

And before I knew it

My heart SANG a new song

It had thawed from the ice

That had previously incased it

BROKE FREE of the pain

That had unwillingly braced it

Like a baby taking her very first breath

Now resurrected

Was my Autumn death
