Notes About The Poem

REBIRTH

I rose from the quiet place where endings settle,
where the old self thins like winter light,
where even breath feels borrowed.
And slowly—almost shyly~
a new tenderness opened in me,
not a blaze, but a small, steady warmth
that remembered how to begin.

Rebirth isn’t about a single moment;
it’s a presence,
a gift to oneself,
the soft decision to keep stepping forward
even when the path feels unfamiliar,
carrying only what still loves you back.

Rebirth - such a wonderful event. Start with awareness, add in a little Divine Help and a lot of luck. Presto!

The second stanza really breaks it down to a simple choice we can make in life. I like how you presented this. Thanks for sharing this with us, Sara.
