Phoenix

Here,

Standing in the glow

Memory

Turns to smoke

I feel

Alive again

All I lose

Will never end

Loosening the hold -

Release the singing bird

within my soul

To fly

Above the 

Ash and

Flame

All that's left

is all I have

to gain -

Huddled here,

Within the pain

The body calls me

Back again

Scarred and burnt,

Hunched and broken

Wounds exposed,

Now burst open -

Frozen in this dream

The world is more than

what it used to seem

To fly

Above the 

Ash and

Flame

All I see is

what will

still remain

Soaring free 

Melt away

My body

So high above 

and so below 

Love

Shines through 

The shadow cast

By all I fear

and know

and bear
