Resurrection

I am the child

That asked questions

Deemed too wild,

No whys and how's

Were allowed.

Over years and years

I tried, I tried.

Truth and tradition

In my parents’ home

Swam separate

Like oil and water.

Years passed and

Still I’m the scapegoat

Sent out into the desert.

I left notes

Tied together with loops of hope

Beyond star, cross and crescent

My soul stretched

Away from scorpions,

In oasis of solitude, safe

North Star shining

I, the child

Reawakened.
