releasing the genie

back from the dead.
back from the land of the dead.
back from a land of death.
Back from death...

if not to life.

suns and moons took me away.
suns and moons imprisoned me.
suns and moons brought me back in the end.
if not by you given, i welcome myself...

or do i?

txandi, i have been thinking of you. where to start? where did you go? did you feel you had reached the end? i have been on such journeys, only to realize that i had to begin all over again. i welcome you back.

wishing you courage and strength,
polarimbi.

I like the emphasis on death in the beginning. You really make it clear how you feel. I'm sorry you're in pain, but poetry is a great way to relieve pain. I don't wish for more poems but for your good health.
