Slow the burn
of moth to flame
rekindling
nest of cinnamon
smoldering ash swirls
clutching chest
phoenix rising

breathe,

breathing deeply
breath fills lungs with fresh air
grace
climbing
from ashes of experience
scented in hope.

Crackling
ghosts burn
as white light
appears
horizon high;
gold and red plumage
exploring new air
beating the sound of day
then
shall the cry be heard
behold!
from trodden ash
springs
life.

Vapors
of yesterday
evaporate
as dawn bleeds into
the coming
day.
