Let Me Be Born

October 17, 2016 Jeff Reed

Let me be born

morning-light against

this settling,

 

be the butterfly

dancing free

beyond the tattered chrysalis,

 

above my infamous

death, laying low

the old dark,

 

the gaping hole

from which I fly,

far, far beyond its grasp,

 

how high, how fast

these thermals rush

the Morning Star.
