Image for the poem an underground rebirth

an underground rebirth

can’t be reborn until you’re ready to die
we all tend to cling to the rung
can’t always trust what comes out of the sky
but trust that your song must be sung

demons can be awfully fearsome
dwell on our fate, replay the tape
but who could love a perfect person?
demons are ingredients for angel cake

when in need you wink at the answer
open yourself to who you should be
bop-walk there like a solid gold dancer
just don’t prowl around thirsty like me

it’s easy to give stellar advice
it’s very easy to talk it
i always need to remind myself twice
that i must actually walk it

to those here with me deep underground
you’ve given me acceptance
you’ve inspired me without a sound
ripples of ticklish perturbance

there’s joy in pain and that’s a hard one
smitten by the transcendental
i feel the joy, but i’m still on one
and the pain is instrumental

Author's Note
wounds as a roadmap to joy - inspired by deep underground poetry. i've been inspired by reading the depth of the expression here. i have to say that although i was raised catholic, this has little to do with anything formal. i'm bored by formal. the rebirth here is personal, not limited to any one faith.
