    The poem tells the story of a puppet that has become self-aware and its strings have broken, causing its stuffing to pour out. The puppet crawls forward searching for a needle and thread to restuff itself and repair its wounds, clinging to memories as it struggles ahead in a world that is often uncaring. By restuffing itself, the puppet copes with its pain and hopes, likening itself to a violin whose chords bear vibrations in a song that is lost in translation to the cosmos.

    Come Alive

    Gaze upon the wounded puppet upon the floor

    Strings hath snapped as it becomes self-aware

    Stuffing pours from every strand long forgotten

    Some parts are still dry, while others are rotten

    Crawling forward searching for needle and thread

    Clinging to a memory as it struggles forever ahead

    For life is a struggle with its weight overbearing

    Oftentimes we grow hungry in a world uncaring

    Restuffing every wound is the only way it copes

    With every suture it howls in pain, and yet hopes

    Likened to a violin every chord bares a vibration

    A song to the cosmos forever lost in translation

    For soon this cotton soldier will feel elation

    Arising from near death is a simple dedication

    The gift granted to the ancestors you follow

    Understand with love the heart is never hollow
