Reborn

On the seventh day, I wondered, will the sun shine tomorrow?

On the seventh day, I wondered, can this be the end?
Drained of all my will and hope, looming shadows descend.

On my final day, I wondered, will I see tomorrow?
Pursuit of all the worldly goals slowly gave way to sorrow.

Broken down, I looked around, took one more fleeting glance.
Death was near, it all was clear, I was given one more chance.

I am reborn.
