Phoenix and Fire.

Phoenix and fire.

I slipped on the ledge and you let me go. My life spent on you, your loyalty already gone.

I fell to the world unknowing.

I clawed at the stones, looking for my footing.

But the air was so thin, I was dying as I was living.

I cried out for help but you were no where to be seen.

And he took my hand.

He pulled me out of the ash and dusted me off.

Never a question, never a reason.

He took me an showed me the world, like you never had.

How beautiful it was even in his own pain.

How I had seen before. He took off the filter you had placed on my eyes.

Where you saw darkness he saw light.

And my whole body burned with a need to fight, I let you go the years wasted of my life.

I looked around and saw the amazing people you just let slip through your fingers.

You did to them as you did to me.
I hope you find peace in your loneliness.

From ashes and dust, I am now Phoenix and fire.

Wow, it feels as if this piece has been written for me. Speechless. Wow.

Thank you! :)

Very well done at capturing the idea of a new life with someone using the Phoenix was a beautiful idea. A bird can mean so much with wings to set them free with new fire to life.

This poem seems decidedly Christian, I agree with Junert. Very well done, and you portrayed the sadness of the world, as well as the happiness, perfectly! Very nice job! I'm not gonna lie, it's one of my new favs! :) ;) Keep up the good work!
