Rebirth

And as I stood
With despair twisting its tail
Doggedly around my dragging heel
I saw before me the light
The sun ablaze
In the Eastern sky
And above there rose
The lark in full voice
Proclaiming the dawn
Of a new day
Heralding
Her song joyous
Lifting the senses
And despair withered
Within that moment
And I stood entranced
With smile
Bursting from tear clad face
And happiness
Washed and purified
I was once again
Myself
