A Spark of fire, a moment to live,
This is all I ask to survive,
I can’t breathe, I cannot think, I need peace and quiet,
A spark of fire, a moment to live.
As time passes by and my abuse grows in the distance,
the pain lingers still,
I have a hard time focusing.
I need a spark of fire, a moment to live.
Doesn't it seem like a lifetime ago that the rape happened?
Why does it still camp in my soul?
I cannot release the suffering.
I need a spark of fire, a moment to breathe.
The duty to heal myself is above my ability,
Why must I now find more strength?
I cannot locate the axe I need to cut down this dismal tree.
I need a spark of fire, a moment to breathe.
Come Lord Jesus, quickly, so I can stand another day.
This isn't a journey I can do without you.
I need your spark of fire and your love to breathe.
Can I make it alone? Do I want to?
Come Lord Jesus, quickly, and teach me to breathe.

You are brave in telling your story…I do encourage you to try the haibun form which consists of prose or storytelling along with a haiku. It’s a challenging, yet flexible poetry form. Hope to see you in the cafe again soon ♥️
Thank you, Donna. Your cafe is such a treat and gift to others. Appreciate your words.
