Renascence

When above the high sea in tempest Surging thunderous cloud swells The pole star disappears from the sky The ancient mariner in me loses the bearing. In dormant senses hope prevails For the halcyon horizon will rise again In the sunburst tranquil dawn Delineate the chromatic shore yonder. As my footsteps lose the rhythm of certainty In the tortuous track called life Leading me toward dismal wilderness I revive the faith latent within me. I make to myself an ardent promise To run a long marathon race Reach surely the winning position At the end of the painful pursuit. When I am lost in the labyrinth of living Search for the escape route But find the exit doors close one by one, I then discover the hidden compass. I follow the invisible trail of trust Feel the resurgence of fortitude For at the end of the tormenting tunnel I see the light of freedom finally appear. As the sunshine day fades out fast The twilight sky falls with depressing dusk I don’t forget that the sun should sink To rise with surreal splendor again. I wait for the heavenly hues to saturate me And inspire the Phoenix concealed within To rise from the dust of distress In the divine dawn of renascence. ______________ October 27, 2022 Title Chosen : Renascence Contest : This Or That, Vol 14 Sponsored by : Edward Ibeh
