to be reborn

I want the snow to cover all the paths taken
the straight and the winding ones.

I want the snow to cover everything
that has become wrong and uneven between us.

I want the snow to cover all my words. 
the right words spoken at a wrong time

the wrong words spoken out of confusion
the just words spoken to deaf hearts.

I want the snow to cleanse and purify
everything inside me

every wound
every scar
every hidden story
each tiny little hook.

The melting snow inside me
will wash away 
all memories of a painful past

the memories of glorious mornings
wide open hearts and
eyes looking far beyond the horizon

All expectations
the broken dreams
and the fulfilment 
that has outlived its time.

One day I will wake up
transformed
I will grow and blossom
completely innocent
and young

Old and knowing like a flower
that sees the sun 
for the very first time
and is looking forward 
to the end of its day. 

We are born to be reborn
and entirely renewed
through creation.
