I’d be a Phoenix

I would be as the Phoenix
Rise above my own ashes
Touch the naked of my dreams

In the dew of morning
With the taste of longing
And the sense of belonging

I would be as the Phoenix
With my soul as goal
For beauty is a chameleon

And this mirror would collect
All these visions to inspect
For my heart to reflect

And from the spirit of the done
All this to be fused as one

you do rise above all~
and bring a new
to a day of old~~
warmth to cold~
and always a smile
  

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~

It is not the being down that gives us measure of ourselves... it's how we choose to rise, what we choose to make of what "now" holds. *S* And you, my friend... will always rise with grace and wisdom... and serve the tastiest lemonade from the lemons tossed your way. *S* I like this very much!!

I like this. I have heard several "Phoenix"
poems but this is by far the best and most imaginative. Cheers   - Ed

This is excellent, though I really hate making an ash of myself.

*grin*
