RENEWED

A lifeless cloud, aloft invisible air
   Blows Eastward;
  A destination Fate had prepared.
                 Renewed;
        Is a bludgeoned heart,
 No longer fueled  by loneliness and despair.

  The demise of a mountainous bolder,
  Crashing downward with it's mighty weight;
                Crushing ageless fossils,
            Broken from a lifetime of decay
                              Renewed;
                Is a love worthy of replacing,
                     All the years of self hate.

           The hardened soil that lies beneath,
         Has now become darkened clouds 
                 Of roaring Crushing debris...
    A lifelike sustenance, as it's path now creates;
                         A Renewed desire to live,
             as it buries a lifetime of turmoil and grief.
                     Replacing so much agony 
                 With a renewed sense of relief..

                                   A lifeless cloud 
                      now filled with the goodness of rain
             While the burden of weight from life's boulders
                  Are replaced with fields of golden grain
     
  Rising from the ruins of the hardened soil of a soul
                  There lies a clearer path to travel 
                 Covered in a beautiful crystal sand
                                          Renewed;
                                Is a life now replacing
                          the death I had once planned...
