Poet's Renewal

Excavate Me From My Tomb , Sift My Ashes , Exhume Me From My Grave

I Am Done With Being Dead To The World Such As It Is Or Seems To Be

I Would Speak Like A Phoenix , Words Of Resurrection And Resurgence

Inflamed With Passion Found In The Pit , And Hope From Pandora's Box ;


Shadow Held Starlight In My Palm , A Universe Born Beneath My Gaze

I Closed My Fist And Touched My Breast And My Heart Began To Beat

Again , A Whisper Of Creation From A Depth Chthonic Of Ribbed Cave

With Undertaker's Care I Adjust My Headstone , Writ With Last Word ;


Perdurabo , I Shall Endure , Beginning The Long Walk From Silent Speech

To The Eloquence Of The Reborn Poet , Battered By The Bard's Winds

In The Badlands Of Scorched Consciousness And The Dark Demise Of Love

For Such Is Life And It's Looking Glass , Seen Through The Smoky Mirror ;


And Yet , Still Determined Not To Let The Last Spark Expire , I Speak My Voice !

It's Name Is Renewal !
