Like seeds we lay on grounds fertile and
lush sometimes rocky and treacherous on us the sun hit hard and bright and the
wind blew hither and thither. Some fell prey to the giants prowling the earth
and others like me burrowed under the ground trying to prevent the surety of
death. But to us all the beast came knocking.
Shaking with fear, sweating and shivering with a cold and heat locked
deep within our bones we all swallowed high and hard taking with good faith the
end so obvious. With a breath so deep the beast blew and out came rushing a
great hot breath that came only from a fire so hot drying us up and leaving us without.
With the last of breath we struggled and a prayer we cried! Recovery we hoped
not just the peace of this great struggle but alas did we know that a greater
end lay but with strength know longer in the last breath we drew.
A tingling, a wriggle is this the heaven we
seek? Newness I feel, an upshoot I see
perhaps the outfit of this mysterious place or is it? A sense of familiarity laid
the same earth I feel and the same breath I draw what is this I ask you? For a
time I felt no longer thinking of this earth departed I but alas it wasn’t to
be. A tale of old I remember of reincarnation it speaks perhaps of this I
partake. An angel only it can be that changed this fate of mine so obvious.
Time flew by and with it changes. In width
and height so obvious and clear I grew stronger and better. With the mirror of
the pond I looked and a reflection so strange yet shone. A beauty as no other
graced with poise and elegance as seen only with queens stood graceful and
majestic looking down at me. With great joy I smiled as the thought of the past
came calling and grateful I still am for the horrors past giving me this now.
