Misdirection

Passion burnt at night
Fire set the sky bright
As the sun rose and the roses sunk
Life reborn and life debunk
Fire set the sky bright

A new day, a new sun
Night leaves, light shines on everyone
The disheveled face called glee
Reborn in you and me
Untapped potential in you and me as life is undone

What to do if I don’t remember my reflection?
When my own mind brings dejection
Then it is time for rebirth
A new day, a new hearth
Focus on this very day as yesterday was a misdirection.
