Lifebreath

Blood spills sacrificed to rebirth 

A splotchy red rose blooming 

as though painted by gory brush 

Openly discarded evidence 

Now the hieroglyphs 

of redemption's entreaty are rendered 

Surrendered power to the lifebreath of all power 

I scale sky tops singing for transcendence 

Tucking and rolling to cut through turbulence 

above the alpenglow of home 

Extending a hand to meet happy-go-lucky eternity 

I've been finding real gems 

Refracting rhythms of prayerful refrains 

Crimson emerald amber auras 

Light pouring from love's embodiment blue 

Yes said to Yahweh 

The stasher and scatterer of gems 

We thrum through space to one another 

Disappointing meaning's void
