Redemption!

A new day dawned dull and dark
took me by my arm and
pushed me down hard
bruised, battered, further
twitched on by them,
truth so-called
weaved a web all round
screamed my heart in despair,
though no sound.

silent screams heard a few
locked up, alone, far away
prayed that sunlight
show the way amidst the gloom
the World crumbling to pieces
refusal to give in,
slowly picking up those very pieces...

there came those answers
not long after,
in fine print.
The screaming stopped
and the heart set to think!
a minute gleeful at them answers,
in retrospect faded away that glee

I chose, I chose to be above all
though a mighty close call,
to forgive and forget it all!
true redemption indeed
and just like that
there I was - a new seed,
a phoenix rising from her ashes!
