How am I here again?
To the place where fire
burns from cold, ashen embers
As unexpected as a bolt of lightning;
Electrifying
what has gone to the grave
Unearthed from beneath
a current of questions,
of possibilities,
of melting and bending
faith’s pillar
All, for what?
For torture of the soul?
Self-pity?
For weeping as a willow
reaches downward
to meet the earth?
For floundering as a fish
searching in circles?
Back to where I began.
How am I here again?
