RE-AWAKENED
14 June 2011

Like the spirited phoenix
from vermilion flames,

with sun-healing
and fast-fading scars

she arose
with a grand jeté
into the pale dawn sky.

An unexpected smile
or touch
can do as much.

This is where my mind leapt because I felt the reawakening once or twice.....Thank you for the post. jo

Thanks, Bruce.  I am sure you can, especially if the flames get too hot to handle!  Thanks for the kind words.  

Thanks, Jo.  Yes you are right.  Smiles.
