Planted at the end of a journey

Reborn in new shades

On uncharted ground

~

Where the salt breeze has swept me

To be mended in the soil

Where my free roots may tunnel

Into the earth’s scalding heart

~

The crimes of days past

Are all food for the vines

Growing over the towers of a city,

The lone spark

Fading in the south

~

Reborn in new shades

On uncharted ground

Is a story I’ll relive

On and on until silent
