When You Feel the Past Leave You

A poem.

when you feel the past leave you

a rebirth will happen.

Your heart will crack open

and your being will remember

what it lost.

Your true self will awaken

from its sleep.

And your soul will dance

calling forward all the gifts you left behind.

And you, the phoenix, will rise again.

An excerpt from my poetic memoir book, Into the Light.
