jen capaldi - Sojourn

Through an arduous journey,
A sojourn of seeking,
Enlightenment through the elements,
The gifts of the earth,
That washes us clean with it waters,
Sterilizes us through and through with fire,
Blows away our afflictions,
And from the dust allows us to be born again,
With newfangled innocence,
And a new beginning,
The sun shines down,
Giving light to new life,
Allowing it to flourish,
And begin it's journey again.
