Re-Born

By Iwas

The rage.
Like blood coagulates.
Turning black.
On the hands it stains.

Lasting pain.
Which will not fade.
Must make peace.
With what remains.

Yet the rain.
May wash it away.
Leaving the hands.
Completely unscathed.

And the sun.
Shall shine brighter that day.
As the hands.
Stretch up from the grave.

Anyway, I enjoyed the realization of bloody hands and even more, the raising up of the hands. Sorry, if it wasn't supposed to be anything like zombie hope, but I totally went there. A very interesting write. Really made me think. Thank you.

    Threw me when I tought I had it pre-figured out, I was expecting the hands reaching upwards to pray. I guess maybe only death can cure some rage, but try not to let it consume you. Well done, immensely, thanks.
