"Rebirth without Dying" - by Jessica Vilches

The winds of change blew,
earthquakes shook my foundation.

Tsunamis engulfed me,
and in each wave, I surrendered.

Every lightning bolt I received with trust,
and thus, all was revealed.

I felt like I was dying…
and indeed, I died—
to all my learned versions.

In each death, I realized:
“death doesn’t exist”.

The hum of the inner fire
calls me back—
to the place I never left.

Dwelling from another space,
discovering in the world
the reflections of my own inner landscapes.

Coiling,
being reborn without having died.

Back to where I never left,
as a spectator,
a witness to my own creations.

Playing,
from the place I have never departed.
