Rebuild

fallen ashes, soot-covered letters
little bullets fly through
stained missing pieces
 
slices through
throat tightens
swirling, racing, losing hope
 
gently, seeds fold into the ground
peace lilies blooming
sunshine flows over sunken, dry grass
 
tears of rain streaming down
repairing tired soil
drop l e t s falling
 
one, daring to hope
lightly, brightly,
uncurling sprout
 
rosy petals, fresh new branches,
tumble out, caring, mending
rise toward the sky
 
branching out,
Whole, United
grow with love
