From death to lifeA Poem by Elizabeth CooperAmidst the ugly core of rattling fire She slept flat, thin and steady Allusions one and a billion more Relocating swiftly - expressive of all Retaining inexplicit ideas all the while I walked down the cremation ground Wiping off my tears, holding myself stronger My mind played the past tape I couldn't protect her body anymore A sudden flick and how she struggled With a dozen of wires circulating blood and pulse Her life started and restarted And after all, when she wasn't still ready yet The heaven's call was louder Without even alluding or gazing No inkling but all in silence she laid Drowning herself in the bed of eternal sleep No chords further rang in her ears Nor did my voice reach her heart Nothing more than a miniac of memories did remain I stand at the holy doors and bells now All I do is ask for a reboot A reboot of her life - that she becomes a kid again And even apart from us, she restarts her childhood Some better place, around better souls She recreates her memories And begins again her joyful ride of life.
