Rebirth

by Valerie Gregorio • June 1, 2020

I’m at the end of my life
Before I know it
For so long, I didn’t know
My time was done

Drawing my last breath
I sleep peacefully
In the unknown
In the darkness

Then suddenly
I open my eyes
And see the light
The light of a new world

A new world of life
In where I was reborn
For the first time, I see
My rebirth
