Rise

What do you do when your soul gets sucked out

Allow it to return

Rising up slowly

like a seedling on a damp forest floor

Trying desperately to reach up

And grasp the sunlight

Because it just needs the chance

Should it rise like bamboo

Fast, roots spreading

Almost invasive

Giving no time to understand

What was there before

A quick look at the body

Of the soulless person

And it reminds you

Of a forest ravaged by fire

Everything dead

Charred and lifeless

No signs of coming back

But like the Phoenix

We rise from the ashes

The soul grows stronger

No longer destroyed

No longer dead

Powerful and ready

To take on the world
