I Comeforth

From watered womb burst 
From poppied fields sprung 
I Comeforth 
With Penance scarred skin 
Fines of blood given 
My keeping bondage loosened 
I Comeforth 
Standing attentive in destiny's battle 
Fighting fates torrential onslaught 
I Comeforth 
With armored soft and wounded heart 
A soldiers eye for dying 
I Comeforth 
In the spring of new growth 
Reticent tears of rebirth 
I Cry 
As I 
Comeforth
