Ashen Shivers

Rising above the ashes,
Never more, never went, never look
Over that edge into the past
Where things live and have already died
Existing in memory
Adorned in gossamer gown and glowing colors.
Newness feels...new
Like a taste newly tasted
Or a scent newly discovered
Resting on the palate
Digesting into current life
Evolving into current existence.
Phoenix risen
Newly born
Ages old
Youth experienced
Life exemplified
Time's ultimate passage.
I am a Kentucky mountain girl far from home, perhaps far from the girl years. Still, my heart longs to return to the top of Low Gap mountain and peer off into the distance; to see the hills rolling and tumbling out before me, and the wind ruffling the trees' leaves, causing them to ripple like waves in some immense pond.
