Dying Anew

The poem that cheers for the new

By Erica WilliamsPublished 3 months ago 1 min read
Dying Anew

Anew will bring death ,

As many will think it won't,

For as denial is different from understanding,

As the strands of heartless changes like the season,

As feelings are leaves that wither and die,

As the heart can wait no longer and shifts ,

Emotions dead into the grave and going back to start,

As it makes a new spring,

And the heart tenders ,

Craves for happy.

    Beautiful words. This feels quietly melancholic yet hopeful.

    I appreciate the philosophical tone of this piece. You’ve managed to show how emotional rebirth often requires letting go of what no longer serves us, which gives the poem both depth and hope.
