Phoenix Rising

written by: Dixie Blue

I am Phoenix Rising
I am dark despair
I am the flames cindered
The glow is ever there
I am Tempest Strength
Down upon my knees
vicious anger, seething rage
burn up all of me
I am Ashes Scattered
blown away again
this stark world so shattered
I am back where I began
Might I fly away, my lesson learned?
A voice calls inside my soul
"The Phoenix must always return.
You will never be whole.
You, Phoenix, will suffer old and fly
through and infinity again
For freedom fiery ones shall yearn,
but their nature is to always burn."
