Resigned Divinity
Birth and death: resigned divinity
walk hand in hand with all
taking up the risk again and again
rising with a flush and rush to meet the rakish desire for
...existence ...self awareness...experience...touch feel
and flow
drawing from the list of longings and lingerings from last life
boldly taking back it’s due
from injury... death and war
such that they too must bow
and shed their blackened shells
to bloom again
against the ash
in vibrant colors ...........ever splashed
to be born ...as if on wing of dove divine
in the first breath and joyful laugh of every new born child
