Time to emerge from the tomb
Time to start anew
From the death of hope
Arises another
Like a phoenix reborn
Colours dull and faded
Now bejeweled
Shimmering with iridescent life
From promises made and broken
A new future beckons
From hurt and frustration
Forgiveness and redemption
Shed the burial shroud of past grievances
for garments of shimmering white
Dawn routs the night.
As love forgives and embraces
