Rebirth // Gaea
I wrote this piece a little over a year ago, with this exact title - I couldn't chose between the two. I'd forgotten all about it and basically stumbled on it just now in a document, looking for something else entirely. It wasn't her time yet to be thrown out there, but I believe it's safe to say... now it is.
With love, hope and rainbows,
R.

I have a newfound fire in me
one that is raging like a tempest
and I am unsure of whether
I am waves or wailing ship
I only know that it is bursting
as if my chest cages it, still
as if my lungs wish to move out to grasp
even more oxygen to burn
yearning to turn into the ever scorching smoldering of breath
one that creates and trashes, tears down and ruins
but only to build up from the ashes
I have a newfound fire in me
one that rekindled after years
and uses all my woodlands like a fuel
it is a forest fire, one that we know the world has in her
yet we are stunned at the profoundness
when she finally bursts out
taking life beyond our graps
making room for fertile soil
I have a newfound fire in me
and I am left here at the burrows
at the emptiest of lands
all those ancients of which I thought they stood
so tall and strong and rooted
fallen, fled, collapsed, or ill
only land remains here, still
and I discover that now, finally
as dark clouds drift and then dissolve
I can see past the horizon
where the sky is filled with hope
a path with seven colours guiding
to lands that need to be discovered
space we have not been before
hidden realms not yet uncovered
oceans deep to be explored
for all the tempests, tides and raging gales
any wildfire aflame
a new world will be born
I trust and see, hope and believe
oh, Mother
life is not a thing forlorn
