Like dust compiled, it sheds.
New perspectives are all I need,
Like a new textbook or manual,
It holds all the keys.
I have been missing the chemical formula,
To detonate this life into existence.
Like a forest fire it clears out the carbon,
Leaving new growth.
This pinewood jacket needs a refitting,
I miscarried to soon,
So I am back from the dead.
To lift my own spirits
And keep away the nightmares.
A boombox color scheme
Blares out the new itinerary.
I got it, I got it.
Destination received.
Jump on the high horse and now we proceed.
Come with me on the new journey of self.
Its an experiment in madness,
You better buckle up.
Of course I know what I am doing

What an energizing validation! Three cheers for such amazing lines as "To detonate this life into existence!".."I miscarried too soon".."It's an experiment in madness, you better buckle up"..
WA-HOO! I crave more of this over-the-top adventure! Please infect us with your rampant
re-invention and take us along for the ride!

Haha. I laughed out loud at the last line. Brilliant. I like the message I took from this...All could be destroyed, but sometimes something greater rises from the ashes. There is a certain "Get on with it" attitude, and it is fortifying.
