A Thousand Lives
A thousand rights and wrongs
mixed together with a thousand lies
dying each but yet reborn
As a phoenix
rising from the dust of each life
that used to be
shaking off its dust
Awaking
learning from lives walked
from things seen
from the people I once was
Becoming wiser
mistakes have been my teacher
ancient but not eternal
