Shook loose our walls
Rebuilding was costly

Rebuilding from the pieces
That you left strewn and broken
Ready to risk life and grow
Taller once again.

hammers are swinging
saws are buzzing
the carpenter ants
shall gather
the nails while
volunteering their time
in rebuilding Noah's Ark...

Secures a basking love bright
Rebuilding desire to fight
For one in my sight

Still
Here in
Atlantis,
Mother of pearls.
Iridescent; being pregnant with light,
A world rebuilding - waiting to hold you.
Resurfacing:
Sea the sun,
Finding 
Home....

Camelot produced two tots
Caroline, and John Junior...
How their mother cried when their father died!
   Instead of rebuilding a productive chassis
   ~ She went gold-digging and married Onassis...

World,
           barbaric, unnatural 
        falling, decaying, failing
Technology, Society, Trees, Oceans
 regenerating, flourishing, rebuilding,
           instinctive, civilized
                 Wasteland....

The Well

Dreams staying still
Null, brittle devoid
From Cosmo's mold
Diminishing to depths
Out of the well
Voices moving in harmony
Utter resonances swell
Instinct and fears
Stinging the senses
As rebuilding fences

When rebuilding a home
You-
Repaint the walls
Replace broken doors
Revisit all points of weakness
Trusting the process 
Of the new masterpiece being built
So it is with the soul
Rebuilding that home
To the home of strength...

Falling stars and broken dreams 
Surround the corners of my mind
Torn pages seem so unkind
Rebuilding over, just to rewind
Always learning, life defined
But life isn't what it seems
Many ropes tie and bind
Dreams shine like moon beams...

Katrina, you left your mark on our land, hearts, minds,
A mercilessly unyielding rabid force of wrath,
Those who tarried paid the highest price...death,
Regression, grieving, rebuilding,
In the aftermath of distress,
Never to forget,
And life goes on....

Spring
rainy, mild
planting, freshening, rebuilding
gardens, flowers, orchards, bonfires
decorating, harvesting, baking
brisk, cool

I looked
at the bird whistling gleefully in the tree,
the squirrel diving for acorns in the fallen leaves,
the ant determinedly rebuilding his home,
the lake licking the moist sand,
the cloud painting a delicate backdrop,
and the sun giving life to this beautiful day....

I shut the door
And drew the blinds
Let the phone ring
Every time it rang
I couldn’t bear
To play charades
I needed time alone
With the darkness
Of my depths
Rebuilding strength
Thru the winter
Of my mourning

Phoenix In The Wind
My dreams have died
Now I bow my head to sigh

Night is when I cry
Day is my rebuilding time

Too young to die
Too old to ask why

Now’s my time to fly
That’s why I have to try

I’m a phoenix in the wind
Flying towards the setting sun
To escape my sins...

We get so accustomed to everything that surrounds us
We begin to call familair faces friends and familair objects home
Our true home lies within our hearts
Leaving means giving up all that has become familair and comfortable
Pain comes from knowing rebuilding lies ahead and saying goodbye....

happy endings come from
happy beginnings
traveling story
thickening plot
building & rebuilding
characters unworthy
i cant turn the page 
myself when i am stuck
inside i thought it would
be fun to take a ride 
to do what i'm told 
scripted lifted from freedom
captive in the dungeon
of fantasy...

Flying solo against the wind
a weary hurt that time cannot mend,
a nostalgic manifestation that hangs in the backdrop of
rebuilding a life once lost,
slowly it drifts into obscurity, 
what once was will never be again,
that’s the beauty and irony of living,
slowly I will find myself again but I will never be alive....
