Behind the Words - Part 3 of 3: Renewed Life

Renewed life—

Our mountain climb, 

No longer tinged

With acidic melancholy

And regretful dread

Of the state of the world,

But with true liberation—

 

Humankind as one,

Arisen from the shadows

Of blind strife and futile

Swipes, to the quenching

Abandonment of old rags

And infested slime—

Breathing anew—

Our primordial connection,

Now glowing with Life,

Never looking back

To dead memory

And sorrowful prison,

For this too has ceased

To exist. Its power retracted,

Now pulled and pushed

With the wild winds

On desert floors,

It floats around like 

Holy cloth disintegrating

Slowly into particles

So fine, again to dissolve in the great

Ocean of the cosmos.

A return to homogeneity,

Indeed are all condemned

To do. The inevitable end—

What has always been

And which is Now.
