I have been annihilated so many times.
At the point of a moment.
On the thorn of a word.
On the barbed wire of hate.
Through hidden hypocrisy.
On burning roads,
In worlds made bitter.
I have been annihilated so many times
I can’t remember the time nor place.
Still I return and am reborn
And on the new I become renewed.
Through the breath of the wind
Through my own tears
Like a little seed
That is sown in the fall
I become a part
Of a new scroll
Signed with a single star.
(Rachel Korn)
