Rebirth



sitting alone in this dead forest
sanctuary
I can feel the light of you shining on my face
my hands illumined by your truth
my feet guided, stepping to your pattern of life

then I turn away
and watch the shadows
fall
off the wall

I feel you
grabbing at my feet
turning them toward you
breaking them
breaking me

still
the shadows
fall

dark shadows
familiar shadows
lonely
shadows

still I feel you
pulling me to you
turning me around
again
and again
until I get it right

so now
I turn to you again
I can feel the light of you shining on my face
my hands illumined by your truth
my feet guided, stepping to your pattern of life

never alone
again
