Marrow

Someday I will tell you, pull the fire from my shell, Secrets locked inside marrow, safely sealed from this hell, Pour my ashes over water and maybe then you will see, From my marrow there’s a sparrow, death’s serendipity.

I like how grim and at the same time hopeful this poem is

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
