Rebuilding What Was Torn Down
Rebuilding what was torn down
might take endless effort,
and it can be definitely done
without recalling the hurt.
To visualize it again,
it's putting together the ideas
that started it in adolescence...
will it be the same dream as then?
Some achievers build it
as a bricklayer does: brick by brick...
until it is clearly conceived,
to amaze themselves who strongly believed.
Rebuilding what was torn down
by malevolent forces takes firm belief,
and with my defiant courage it will have life again:
breathing as I breath with much sought relief.
