Coming Alive

Sometimes deciding to come alive

Feels like pulling yourself down to earth from way up high. 

Sometimes it feels like lifting and flight.

But no matter the feeling, 

Life is happening. 

And you're not really sure why,

Or how,

Or when,

But you've come alive.

And that's all that really matters. 

Resurrection only comes after death. 

But there is no honor in trying to stay in the grave. 

Death is simply a passageway to life. 

It is not the end goal - 

It is only an entrance to a path. 

I never knew this.

What if death was more temporary than I'd thought?

What if three days is all it takes?

What if most of life is meant to be lived, 

And dying is a mere blip on the screen

Of a greater story?

The battle is raging

And my heart hangs in the balance.

Should I let her go free,

Or keep her caged and dying?

Safety is sometimes

The greatest of deaths.
