Awaken
May 26, 2015
Reborn: again awaken with a burst of
blinding heat. Rise, then, and claim the vanilla sky
that laps over the drunken capital.
A carnation blooms within a suckling dove, but
what of her mother? An earthly sickness turns
it from pink to ash in a moment. A cherubic
aubade that greets a soul arriving has
gone to greet another.
A love agape in its own rights has blossomed.
So wander, now, onto a vagary of sorts and
dérive through the life around you.
And, smile, sweet child. Sunrise will come again.

This piece is about birth. It speaks of coming into this world and claiming it as your own. The speaker is insisting that the newcomer find him/herself. The child was born of a mother with postpartum deppression but the speaker does not want the child to dwell on that. The child should fall in love selflessly and go on a journey and always be positive about a new day coming.
