Rebirth

I’ve concluded

That life should come with a consent form

Of old age and heartbreak

And acceptance of things that should never take shape

On reflection of hard times I find

Myself reminding my reflection that it’s all for a reason

There are simply no accidents

Every negative has a purpose

And it’s all channeled into positive

Whether or not we consciously know it

We must have faith in the shadows

For they provide purpose to our path

Cling to the knowledge the light will come

In flecks or In showers

We must trust in our mother universe

Even when our mothers are no where to be seen

By moral obligation, by birth

Life should come with a consent form;

To sign our souls over to acceptance

Of loss and hardships

Of all that lay in the land of unjust

To allow, over a lifetime, our bones to be broken and shattered

Before we rebuild our own rebirth

It is then, we rewrite our bespoke letter of consent.
