From Ashes Rising

Burning bridge is falling down Im stoking the following flames yellow-orange flames gather now I set this bridge ablaze Leaving behind the world that was mine crossing into unknown abyss tripping over yesterday...I blew the sweet world a kiss In return she hissed-shrugged shoulder remised Crestfallen, dejected, internally bruised Waving goodbye are the evil ...amused Smiling, bathing in the pain I shoulder winds blow in opposing force colder Yet I must trek direct into source Holding tightly to resilience thats fleeting Cutting old cuts to ensure that Im still bleeding Only the wind's howl to talk to and reminisce It speaks the words of those that I miss Of her I kissed....for her I wish...this did not exist Lonely crossing to this side of mine Mine alone, my mind confined My soul tight winds... life untied... spirit cries I will mourn for one day more I will lay black roses at my grave I will say goodbye to the me I was before I will rise strong and brave I will rise from ashes ~~~~~Phoenix flight starts tonight

Wow. Incredible work here. I love the vivd, deep emotions expressed. When I read it truly the end of it made me sigh positively. Very well worth the read today. Keep on keepin' on, renewal, "rising above the ashes" is a very beautiful thing. With love and respect, Lucinda

The creative imagery conveys your thoughts in an interesting way. I like the way you ended this poem. You may want to change Im to I'm in the 4th stanza. Keep on writing. Thank you for your kind comments on my poem. Karen
