A/N: I have neglected this for a good deal too long. This is only a little thing, but the image delights me still. I would request that you read this slowly. Preferably with Tranquillezza (for Strings) playing. That is the music I wrote it to, and it's... yes. Very much involved with the feeling. It's slow, thoughtful, mulling. The music ought to convey the idea nicely. This is my idea of what it would be like to have Risa and Satoshi after the breaking of the curse first realize it's over.

Palingenesis: rebirth; regeneration. New birth.

Disclaimer: Not a whit is mine. Not the song, not the theme, not even the language. All I can say is that I strung it together first.


-Palingenesis-

Trembling lashes
Reveal
The world

Softly,
White is gentle

Whispering calm
Unveils
The peaceful
World

Softly,
Morning is tender

One stray heartbeat
Followed
By another
And continues
Quietly

The unbroken
Moment,
It is
Tranquility

So this is what
Comes
At the end?

Only open
Skies ahead

In the caress
Of morning light

I see you

Peaceful

Another heartbeat
Is heard

The misty sighs
Dissolve

And the heartbeats
Meet
With knowing
Smiles

Quietly,
They continue

As in one breath...

Everything...

Is new.
