Frozen Phoenix

They say a phoenix shall always rise burst through the ashes with new life what were to happen when the flame dulls when the fire beneath its wings burns no more? the frozen phoenix with mind in tact, utterly immobilized and cold to the core no one can hear its cries on the brink of pure insanity where or when shall light break through these frozen walls around it? I am the phoenix, I am cold I can see only darkness The only sounds that fill its ears, Echoes of past cries Eternal bruises from internal battles. But wait, there is something coming, A revelation, an epiphany Or simply change in perspective maybe? A glitter of sunshine, a memory of positive and warm proportions Suddenly there are sounds of cracks Splinters in the ever surrounding ice barriers in which i, we have been trapped. The phoenix inside me yearns for flight, Desperate to feel wind beneath our wings. The feelings of warmth are overwhelming. Temperatures escalate, consciousness consumes the sadness that has trapped it Suddenly the ice breaks The phoenix spreads its wings And in grand fashion it screams to the heavens for it is free. The episode is over, the Phoenix lights the sky from shore to shore. I am the Phoenix, I am frozen no more.
