For the Damaged

A fire lights inside
There are zero indications
No flags thrown 
No whistles blown
In that moment you feel alive
again.
Like a light switched in 
your mind.
And all of a sudden you 
are awake
from a long season's slumber.
Your eyes are vibrant and 
inhaled every color 
on the planet
with one soft blink.
You can taste the breath 
of day.
Its sweet rays fill 
your lungs.
And you exhale self.
A self that the world hasn't 
felt in a long long time.
