Phoenix Rising
Feb 3, 2020
To rise out of the ashes a phoenix, you need to enter the fire first
It will scorch you in its embrace, torture you till you retrace, refine all that is disgraced
Something better, burnished, tarnished with only the memory of pain
But the taint of achievement, the triumph of survival coupled with the freedom of revival
To rise above it all, we need to take the plunge, take the fall
Be the phoenix, enter the flames, burn & learn
The ashes will be your reminder of that which you conquered, that which you discerned
Yet remember, to it someday will you once again return
