REBIRTH

 

In Lilac thirst and breath Love is Life’s first dance with Death

The project to collect as we admire what the pond does reflect

Like Narcissus ready to dive intoxicated pursuing beauty blessed

Another becomes the mirror, a vision too elusive to be possessed

The end’s suffered, when lovesick the trick is an identityretained

Drowning, in waters deep commiserating with Romeo’s Tragedy

Alone, we rise as the mind lies and memories relentlesslyremain

Will Psyche attempt to hide reflections of the beloved’s joyful physiognomy?

Or will trust be renewed as the ghost haunts willing to transform

As the pain of being insane transcends becoming an immortal quest

To reconcile with Zeus and Poseidon and become the storm

Alchemizing a broken heart into a bittersweet existential jest

 

Love’s fall into Death, breathing will to rise again giving Life worth

In this process of grieving into healing comes all forms of re-birth
