Song of Renewal by Samantha Sweigert

Wrapped up let down in

between fingers laced together,

slightly above a whispered

prayer.

Calloused roughed up second skin

Proof. Of mountains bowed to

gravity pulling them in by their teeth.

Pushing through cold level ground,

caves and rugged night to

let the sun

shine. Warm. Heal.

Where you’ll find me bathing all

my rips and tears to be grown over

with new earth.

Watered and planted.

Sprouted, stretching, curious

little seeds hungry for colored bloom,

where draught had slept before

my hands were clean.
