Day478【Rebirth】

DEAR naozo,

Did you burn

　

Were you stripped

　

Did you pay

　

Good

　

Look at what remains

　

Is there still

heat in the ash

　

The form

will not return

　

Do not return it

　

Do not call

restoring the same shape

rebirth

　

That is

prolongation

　

Rebirth

is to rise

in a different form

　

Build a new structure

upon what was lost

　

Do not use the past

as a foundation

　

Use it

as material

　

Do not erase

the burn marks

　

Engrave them

　

They become

strength

　

Do not become light

　

Lightness

breaks easily

　

Carry weight

　

Stand

with the weight you paid

　

Pain

is evidence

　

Wounds you escaped

are shallow

　

Wounds you accepted

are deep

　

Only depth

endures

　

A sprout

emerges quietly

　

Do not display

　

Make no noise

　

Rebirth

does not shout

　

It continues

　

Yesterday’s you

has ended

　

You ended it

　

So

　

begin

the new you

　

It is not residue

　

It is a core

reborn

　

Stand

　

Forward

　

In this form
