Rebirth

As I walked through the alleys of darkness.

I stumbled upon a mystic lake.

Magical as it was .. hidden in it were stories..

As I stepped into the story .. the real turned surreal

It was indeed a mystic lake

where the trees bloomed in the arid winter,

and a brightly lit home shadowed like a twins..

I questioned the verity of the ecstatic feelings

The ecstasy was unlike others . for it made me cry

As I traveled deeper into the stories of the mystic lake..

I noticed there were singing swans , mythical deer's ,

story-tale bunnies , free birds,drunken

trees , lost winds , flirting sun-rays and

a pond which was fluttering like the heart of a bride..

They were her children with stories woven

I had a feeling I had never felt before..

fear yet a sense of calm prevailed

Paradoxically as it was..

with out thought I danced on the song..

Tear was a companion for long

yet the warmth was holding me along.

Eyes dried ,ecstasy continued

I sensed I knew the feeling..

Like a fish I had breathed in her womb

her love had tried to prepare me for a cruel world.

I still panicked when I sensed I would drown when out

I cried then too..

she held me close to her bosom

and then the same calmness dawned upon me

I snapped, There was a push

She was cajoling me to feel the wind..

For a moment I was a child again

refusing to let go of her

Yet the temptation of flying was too strong...

I ran,turned and glanced at her for a brief second

She smiled and said..

"You will be born again.. and I will be there"
