wherefrom the force that moves the limbs
wherefrom the force that brings breath
through mouth and nostrils
wherefrom the force that carries our feelings
along windswept areas
wherefrom the force that lifts ideas
to dizzying heights
wherefrom the force that delivered me
and takes me back to death
and chases me into struggle
between dream and reality
between shadow and me
between delirium and awakening
to wake me
to rise me
from the dead to pull me
like Jesus Lazar from a dark cave
to bring me to the light of dawn
to open me like the deafness of echo
with the cry of a new life
to remind me
of Myself
