while I was away
the desperation of tornadoes
that have no trailers to turn over
vanished from the air
sky lifting only sighs
from half existing minds
something has awakened inside me
I am becoming love
the divine spirit of the search
the trusting smile of a child
a phoenix levitation from the fiery ashes
of a thousand years of silence
I am becoming alive with wonder
at remembering what it was like
to be innocent of imaginary crimes
conjured by a necessity for guilt
a peace is found within
a soul restored just in time
to open up my eyes
