miscarried love will be reborn

by Lindsay Sanders

[we are volcanoes]

moments of breakthrough happen always
on the darkest days like a sigh in the night,
a release of all that must be burned away.

[we are volcanoes]

heat & light bleed through the ash & overgrowth,
melt the cold, hard chains around my waist-
i accept the death that is to come.

[we are volcanoes]

look now! the sky is cleared
life is now erupting from death,
and tomorrow a garden will bloom
from fertile soil.

Author's Note: i stole the title and from a sleeping at last song. listen to them if you never have before.

Too raw, almost, in its delivery. Volcanoes such a beautiful expression. Your use of language is enviable.
