if separation is death
than who have i been resurrected as?
there i was, living for a time
on the verge of drowning in the dark
until i stopped the struggle
and sank to the depths
only to wake on sunnier shores
now recreated and newly yours…

as something new
as something bright
as something true
as something light

did i rise like a plague
as the walking dead
to terrorize these lovely lives
or did you call me forth
like Lazarus lost in the grave
falling confused into your embrace
a man you very well might save
simply with the truth of that smile
unfolding like golden sunrise on your face
