The Sun Rises

I'd been the fire in the rain the sun in the storm I'd been everywhere and nowhere my broken back arched once in defiance, a monk chanted and the moon stood still I told him, don’t pray for me I am a godless goddess the white fire burns in me and no other through a tongue-less mouth I screamed for release into the otherworld having a million words to say I was speechless ~~~ the sun rises in me again healing my wounds the answer to my cries I am free again to dream my monk friend, take my hands feel my faith my broken back now healed arches in exaltation I dance on moonbeams sliding the light of beauty dream catchers spin with the sound of my first word I am reborn and new once more only my joy will be the death of me
