Flames to ashes
Ashes to dust
Caged phoenix will rise
—Again
Confined not
With resolution newfound
Turmoil of the
Mind
—Subsides…
Tempest post
Ashes to dust
Resolved thou shalt
—Fly!
With wings charred
Cannot freedom —bind?
Nay!
Incarceration is of the
Mind
A state of
Mind
Shalt thou
—Mind?
When the mind is not
Right?
Only through the flames
Shalt thou —rise!
Rebirth from the ashes
A mess
Yet necessity dictates
Unshackle thy chains
Mind chains thaw
In flame—
And soar
Above flame
And leave nothing
But dust
To ashes and
Ashes to dust
