gift

Resentment, dissentment, a dark parting gift.
Enchantment, disillusion, reversion to origin.
Restitution, destitution, ashes bearing new life.
Contentment, decontaminant, poison waning its hold on the mind.

Quiet sorrow, concealed tears, watching the burning of all things
Slow burning fire, inexorably dire, consuming all that ever was.
Awaiting spring, life bringing rain, a different shoot, up from a different place.
Reprieved replaced, emotions displaced, transplanted on a newer root instead.
