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
