Coming or Going (Going Nowhere, revised)

"Sparked" to Life

Out of the ashes (of something even tragic)
she finds her will
Crawling through the cruel dirt
she climbs that dark hill
A run for her life; she’s gotta find self
The waters of life are consuming;
she must breathe for herself
Do you know where you’ll be in an hour?
In a Day? A week? Even a year?
Run, darlin’, run
Felicitous spirit overcomes the fear
A cry for help;
they don’t even see her. Can't hear
or be bothered in their zombie state
She’s all alone,
but she has her spirit
She’s tired and cold
but she’s taken hold of her fate.

Life Lessons 101

Be still and silent

Wait upon their words

Shun self-destruction

From what’s not been heard

Slow down and focus

It’s in the fine points

Tarnished is the rush

Regret is the prize

Surround self with life

The giving source type

Know what you’re cloaked in

And wrap yourself tight

And when all else fails…

Keep on keeping on
