Spirit Reborn

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
