Life Resurrected

Your hands outstretched

You pulled me up and out

You stood so close

I felt your breath

There is no warmth in it

Your gaze so still

Piercing my heart so gently

What is amiss?

The fiery breath of life?

The uncertainty of purpose?

I reached out to touch

Your cold and steely face

You blinked for a second

Behind that unyielding gaze

I saw the dying embers

Of a fire once great

I held you close

To give you warmth

I whispered to stoke the embers

I felt you stir

You gave me hope

We embraced in a standstill
