When life brings us the roller coaster of emotions that its so famous for and its too hard to see past the most difficult days, let's all try to remember words like these and know there is hope.
Life Begins
Putrid smells of burning Earth
assault me as I wander,
as rotting flesh and wicked mirth
invade the thoughts I ponder.
Blackened dirt and blackened sky,
smothered by death's embrace,
bring out every rat and fly,
swarming at a devilish pace.
Stars look crimson in the light
from the river of flowing blood-
but in the horror of the night,
I stumble upon a bud.
A single growing shoot of green,
after years of barren land.
Is this real, what I have seen
and cradled in my hand?
I see it, touch it, and smell its leaves
to determine if its true-
that every dawn the dark recedes,
and life begins...anew.
