Phoenix Arise Rising through the pain and darkest fears Looking back on the valley of hearts tears Strength and purpose are returning to me Stretching my wings now I'm breaking free See me soar upward and into the starry sky Bidding farewell to those sorrowing sighs Farewell to the doubts that cloud my heart No more tearing my heart and soul apart It's time I took back the control of my life Goodbye forever to the trouble and strife I'll shut the door on anger and mistrust too From now on with negativity I'm through I'll be like the Phoenix rising anew from fire On wings of flame I'll fly higher and higher Reborn in loves heat from the ashes I arise This ecstasy and delight is true loves prize My heart despairing and sad called to you Alone in the dark she sought a lover true Now watch as I cut the chains of captivity A prisoner no more in spirit I am now free I'll light up the night with desires delight Sending all my demons back into the night My heart shines brightly, illuminates the air This wonder and heaven I want all to share The wind isn't told which way it can blow Rivers aren't instructed which course to flow My heart has decided for herself what to do And I'll not argue she knows she wants you In the process she's set me free from the fears And she's waved goodbye forever to lonely tears Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Rise and fly with the fire of determination and passion trailing behind your wings to give you lift. Wonderful write my friend. A life with love will have some thorns, but a life without love will have no roses. author unknown |

"Farewell to the doubts that cloud my heart No more tearing my heart and soul apart It's time I took back the control of my life Goodbye forever to the trouble and strife I'll shut the door on anger and mistrust too From now on with negativity I'm through" Can I keep this??  This is something I need to tack to my fridge as words to live by... Awesome!!! I love the time and in between the calm inside me in the space where I can breathe... Sarah McLachlan |

Marsh, this is absolutely lovely reminds me of a book I read, "Child of the Phoenix" by Barbara Erskine.A very uplifting read Maree "If my words could blanket the skies and fill every corner and crevice of this earth, still this wouldn't be enough" "Maree Russo" |

Slushy, Mushy, I bow to the master (or in your case the mistress) of poetry. You've painted the Pheonix rising perfectly. How beautiful!!! Write on, with song Kethry Religion is for people frightened about going to hell - Spirituality is for people who have been there. Anon. |

Marsha..I almost let this one get away... Farewell to the doubts that cloud my heart No more tearing my heart and soul apart It's time I took back the control of my life Goodbye forever to the trouble and strife I'll shut the door on anger and mistrust too From now on with negativity I'm through Now watch as I cut the chains of captivity A prisoner no more in spirit I am now free I'll light up the night with desires delight Sending all my demons back into the night My heart shines brightly, illuminates the air This wonder and heaven I want all to share The wind isn't told which way it can blow Rivers aren't instructed which course to flow My heart has decided for herself what to do And I'll not argue she knows she wants you In the process she's set me free from the fears And she's waved goodbye forever to lonely tears You always write just what I need to read... Lovely as always..You know where it's going too.. Hugs.... ~LL~< !signature--> The way to love anything is to realize it might be lost. author unknown [This message has been edited by Lady Lightning (edited 12-26-2000).] |

LL, thank you so very much love, this started with just a couple of words from Kethry. See how dangerous it is to give me too many words, I just soak them all up and crank out another scribble. Although I quite like this Phoenix idea, I can see a few around me here. So what collective noun would that be, a blaze of Phoenixes, a glory of Phoenixes, maybe a phalanx. Well, please enlighten me someone. Thank you again love Take care Mushy Kari love, thank you very very muchly. Now you'd probably know what is the correct collective noun love. You always answer my need, besides that's something else Persephone knew about, or was that Pegasus. It's possible I'm getting my myths and metaphors mixed. But while you're having a scroll through thank you loveTake care kid Majestic Marsha Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Dee love, I'm very fond of this one it was the start of my phoenix series. And the phoenix has now become my and my sisters of the phoenix official emblem. I think this is where I started to stretch a little. Thank you so very muchly love. I'm getting there, and one day I'll be able to say with pride I can write. Not yet however, but one day. Not all of us have talent dear heart some of us have to get by on quantity not quality. Take care kid Bubbles Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
