Renascence
It’s All in How You Look At Things
Deep pink
covering all
saturated
clinging together
in your wetness
a glimpse at what was
a precursor of what will be
a blessing
the sign of a new beginning
the promise of tomorrow –
yet, your final going
washed down
by heavy waters
is an ending
something lost forever
Death.

I always appreciate your comments! Some say that, in order to interpret a poem, one needs to understand the history surrounding the poet. Although there is perhaps some truth to that, I do not view anyone's poem as being limited by that history. Hopefully, a poem's meaning transcends the immediate impetus to write it, with each unique reader discovering (or creating) meaning, or not, during the reading process.
