Reborn

 Reborn 

Broken by the raging eternal Storm 

Nightmares have become the norms

Endless torment in my heart and mind

Through rough seas I was sailing blind

Inside me raged fire entwined with pain 

Grinding like the clanks of mooring chain 

Battle spears pierced my heart and soul 

Fate had ordained my death in its scroll 

A jolt of thunder revived my shattered heart

New life reborn, the old too quick to depart

My mind full of rage or my ancient pride 

I covered the wide sea in a single stride 

The quivering flames my soul ignite 

Gods and demons before me flee in fright

My heart remains weary tethered to the sea  

Destined to drown all who sailed with me
