If I am to live [57]

If I am to live

"If it was to be life, it would be passion", Leanne O'Sullivan

If I am to live, it must be with passion.
These shadows must find other places to hide
and the frightened child must leave the womb of denial
as stone numbness of ache and pain
washes away by flows of lava or water.
What dark tomb awaits, must wait a while longer.
Till passion plays out.
Till shadows return, humbled.
Till this lonely child rejoices in the dance of Life.
If I am to live,
let me embrace the light; at death,
let me be joyful to embrace the coming night.
