Spirit Reborn (+1)

I have been wrong

more times than I’m right

Intentions misguided

in search of the light

Each time I have stumbled

each time that I’d fall

New chance for redemption

those voices on call

My pathway hard trodden

the ruts and the stones

Defining a journey

where wishes atone

Whose last steps once taken

though battered and torn

Emerge from the darkness

—my spirit reborn

80 / 20

I could write a sonnet

or maybe a play

I could have gone epic

in hopes to relay

What snippets say better

in stations of rhyme

And carry within them

—a power sublime
