ALIVE

ALIVE

A Poem by Meagan Byington
"

We are but a continuous seed in the garden of life. Perhaps Death, Sleep, then Heaven? Perhaps Death, Sleep, a New Life?

"
ALIVE

Why are we trying to live?

Theres no point in false hope.

No matter how close we can get to peace,

Its only a lie.

Close your eyes and believe in this truth,

It wont last long enough.

All you have will be gone,

Burn to ash; Flooded away,

No air for you.

The happiness youre looking for is right here.

Come and get it,

For you know you crave it.

Brothers and sisters want it aswell.

Their fear is nothing compared to all of this.

Cant you hear the whispers of a lost Angel?

Cut out your lust and greed,

Sin is our revenge toward the One.

Created to live in a Holy place,

But how can we?

We’re not alive.

…Suddenly…

Beam of light beneath a dying flower.

Oh how the stem came out of mudd so easily.

Earthy white roots exposing a hole of purity.

Eyes widened with curiosity,

Shining through the windows.

Cold fragile hands reaching in,

Leaning in to taste heaven.

A slip, a fall in to the rabbit hole.

Alice would never last down here,

Drowning in all this sweet nectar.

A bright virgin flash blinding me.

All I see is cold, dry dirt above my head.

I began to tear up and pant,

But there is no movement; no breath for me.

Silent screams cause the outside sky to cry,

Warm, wet liquid flows through bones and I awaken.

A clean, kind hand pulls me out of the pit.

His smile softens my soul; my face grins back,

My arms wide stretched in Truth,

We’re at home living with surreality?

This feeling of something sweet and new…

Am I finally Alive?
