Madeline, Rising by Nathan Simmons

From the ashes of your bruised and broken spirit
Your light begins to pierce the darkness
Splitting the black hole in many pieces
So that the spirit that is you shines as it did before
Perhaps more so than before
Like the sun, the stars, the moon
A hundred flittering butterflies hither and thither
Bursting forth into the light
From darkness to light, from death to life
More full, brighter than ever before, healed and
Brimming over with the energy of a thousand suns
Spreading out over all of us, itself healing as it goes
Filling the darkness with light, laughter, happiness, and love
All speckled with your glitter of gladness
Rising like a wave of light bathing us with glee
You and me and us and them
Brightened by your rising
By your resurrection
By your blithe spirit
By the smile you once had lost and now encouraged
And found again and given back to make us all
Partners of your rising
