Rising From the Ashes
"we fall that we may rise
amazed at our fortitude
our resolve does surprise
of never say die attitude"
Inspiration lines written by _Unseeking Seeker
__________
Rising from the ashes of my existence,
realizing that I must be the one to change;
surprising me that I can leave woe in the distance,
tranquilizing my life with a simple rearrange !
Years of grief I leave on a funeral pyre,
tears I wept in imagined wild places;
fears, pain, sorrow and grief I now set on fire,
repairs to my heart and soul will erase all traces !
Soaring with eagles I am new and reborn.
exploring- I feel my beauty and youth again;
restoring my energy so I have no time to mourn,
pouring out words with the courage of my pen !
Like the mythical bird Phoenix I die and rise,
childlike I see my world with new eyes of light;
divinelike is my attitude- now courageous and wise,
dreamlike transitions have again made my life bright !
