Like a corpse, incapacitated
I lay
in this tomb
so many years:
suffocated in the stale darkness
without life's pulse
to stir the desiccated bones
of my once vigorous spirit.
Until,
sudden and
quite unforeseen,
I heard your voice once more, like a shard of
light seeping through
a sharp crack in the heavy stone
lid of this sarcophagus, and
Like a corpse, reinvigorated
Once more
I'm living,
revitalised,
and emerge into the world with fresh eyes:
those few warm words
were all it took for you to breathe
life back into this broken soul.
