My life has been transposed
like a flower breaking through the soil
for the first time
-I am drawn to the warmth.
Though the darkness beneath the earth is secure and sympathetic
it imprisons me in my own misery
-no matter how comforting that may be.
Months of melancholy and seasons of sorrow
I had to break free for I was living on time I could not borrow.
I sat patiently through the calm of the storm
preparing myself for the new life to be born.
It is believed that the dead
have sprung from the earth
for I too
have undergone somewhat of a rebirth.
