Come Alive

Come alive
Drown not into those death throes 
Fight your way to the beauty
Emerge from the ugly

I was birthed in it
I know, I know
Do not fret
Do not cling to Death's promise
And to Life's regret
Tell him to hit the road
And tell her
I'm just not through yet

I breathe your faith
I taste your reign
Let sink your doubt
I believe in your ascension
I trust in your cause
Likeness to you none will be 

Come alive
Cross the last gasp into eternity
Fight your way to the beauty
Emerge from the ugly

Good to have you back, Laura...You've been gone for some time. This is a greatly encouraging piece. I try to emerge from the ugly...but sometimes it just pulls me right back it. Thanks for the encouragement.

So glad you were encouraged by this piece, Eileen. And thank you for the sweet words! Yeah, it has been a while since I last posted or have checked out other's poetry. I have another poem I've finished a couple days ago to post. I've been a busy bee lately. Anyway, I will be stopping by your page soon. There's a lot of beauty there..<3~Laura
