RESURGAM.

[peak venture]

Resurgam.

I will rise again,

I will rise again,

From those beautiful ashes,

Resurgam.

A fire burns, it burns me,

It burns with me, raging,

I feel a sense of peace instead,

Peace at realization of my death.

My soul still burns, yet not my heart,

Resurgam.

A tombstone covered in moss,

That is where I lay still,

My spirit still roams freely,

My soul burns with that fire.

Unquenchable, passionate,

Painful, calming.

A beautiful face, with a loud silence,

Thoughts dashing around,

Rapidly, yet all turns quiet as,

A tear rolls out of that pale face,

Resurgam.

She will rise again, yes,

She will rise again,

Her calm soul never departed,

Why then, would you hear this word?

Resurgam.

Does it not sound hopeless?

Helen burns, Helen’s soul burns,

Helen’s likeness, a soft and pale jasmine,

Jane’s likeness, a fiery and powerful chrysanthemum.

Resurgam,

Look over yonder, friend,

There lays a tombstone, on it carved.

The solitarily powerful term,

Resurgam.

A cool poem. Liked the repetition of the word fire nd resurgam. Good job.

[lean helm]

amazing... beautiful imagery... brings a feeling of power and yet, at the same time, a feeling of quiet sadness.... the repetition gives it more feels.... gives phoenix vibes.... nice job but my dumb self can't understand the overall message..... so please do explain that

it's a poem based on a word that comes in the novel Jane Eyre after the Character Helen Burns dies and on her tombstone that word is carved
