REBIRTH

What lies beneath, none can fathom

Deep within this heart rests my gold

Made up of a few memories moist

And a few secrets untold

A treasure of bitter and sweet tales,

And a few candid details

That I always wished to recite

Though could never gather that might

Lost under wraps are some faded figures too

And some names half forgotten

All lie shut and frozen,

Refusing to see the light

In a spirit dormant and brazen

But tables have turned; the tide has come,

To swallow this latent soul

To awake it from this deep sloom

To destroy the battered walls of gloom

Can’t stop this ebb at all

That got me into a bottomless hole

It is like a rebirth of my dead soul

Going inside never to come out

Or to grow again like a new born sprout

I see no darkness but only light

Of all lost hopes burning bright

Ah! I stumbled upon old ambitions also

These have accorded to sing in rhyme!

This is my world, my terrene

The holy abode of all once orphaned dreams

What am I without these yearnings?

That burn day and night

To give me light and to flicker forever

To pave my paths always and ever.
