the rhythm of my rebirth

to plunge into the darkness,

endlessly deep,

and then to soar from its depths,

reborn.

to feel the weight of a thousand

nights,

and to laugh again

in the light of new days.

to fracture your own heart,

carelessly,

and then to discover

a love

that feels like fate.

to tumble once more

into dark pits

yet rise each time

with wings unfurled

resilient as the dove
