Rebirth

 

(A lone voice whispers)

Hey

I carefully looked through all our old memories together 

Deep into the longest of nights

Those treasured ones

Once written so sweetly and kept on my iPhone

As I stared into that so familiar burning fireplace 

Thinking of you all alone

And sent sweet blessings

Your way to embrace

With each lit ember

That reminded me 

Of your beautiful face

So, look up into your night's sky

Today

Wherever you are 

And as murmurations of Starlings

Begin to swoop and play

I know you're feeling old emotions

That you still hear way down

In your heart's deep ocean

And though our old life has expired and you now feel so tired

With my gift of second sight

I can see

An incredible one will soon appear ahead

For your invitation to a new form of loving happiness 

Burns like a white summoning candle

And as you step into that invitations magic circle

At midnight

With no hesitation or rehearsal

A familiar feeling will soon begin

That you can handle 

Deep within

Of twin souls intertwined together forever 

Again

Through friendship 

To relieve that aching pain

Bestowed by a divine power

Of why we were separated by the devastating

Enchantment of the Leviathan Hour
