End Of War: Phoenix Rising

End Of War: Phoenix Rising

A Poem by Healing Star
"

Started out describing old rock bands how they left it all out there on stage, but turned to something very different as an energy wanted to be heard.

"

It's the drummers motor that they are ridin'

Can you see their hearts,  they laid it all sprawled out there on the floor

Nothing left to leave again there, nothing left to leave

Can you see them,  they were all there, nothing anywhere else to find

There, all their beauty, it was all there left out for you

It was definitely the drummers motor that they were ridin'

As they go screaming into the night, with all of them holding on

With all of them, with all, with all, they rose into their hearts

You could see them most any night, all spent and ready for more

You could see them most any night, with all of it there thrown into the air

The young hearts, how they reacted to all the pain

Some would turn to violence, some would turn to the pleasure pill

But all of them were lost there, all were lost, in some form or way

Such beautiful children, with their dreams all shattered, as they lost hope

They started out so vibrant, ready to disarm the foe, young hearts

They had glory to their backs there, and a banner of truth laid out in front

Yeah, they had glory to their back, and truth laid out in front

But they did not see it coming, no not one, the pain that suffocates

They were still children, when they learned soon nothing would be the same

They watched on the local news the latest bodies for the day

As the months dragged and it went on and on with no ears listening

We cried it is wrong, we cried please bring them home

They were our children, our boys, our fathers, our friends

They were all losing hope, they were all wallowing in the sorrow

It went on so long, went on so long, it just simply dragged us down

There was no one listening, on deaf ears all cries had fallen

No one wanted to hear the cries of the mother, who learned her sons demise

No one wanted to hear the wife, with a husband lost to war

No one would contribute, to care, or take a stand for peace

 

We cried on as long as we could, until our souls they chose to leave

We cried until there was nothing left, it all had been cried out, all of us

There was nothing left to leave there, it was left there on the floor

There was nothing left to leave, but this phoenix is now rising from the flames

Can you see her soaring, ahhh, those tears were not wept in vain

For the tears of that War are being heard now, in the dropping of the rain

I said the tears of that War are now being heard, by the Mother of the rain

You see all dreams dreamed are memories, memories of the forgotten few

But we have not forgotten, the injustice that was done there

And now the phoenix it is rising, in the East, it comes in from the East there

On the wave of a one so bright, it is a wave seen in the moonlight of the night

Changed but yet resembling, the one who was there so long ago

He rises in the East now, with those memories lingering on and on

He rises in the East now, can you walk with him a while

For he needs to know he's not alone, needs you for a smile

You see he is one who prayed the War end, one who lost a loved one there

He was nearly taken by the pain it caused, he nearly took himself to the other side

But when he heard the drumming, he felt there might be a hope at last

Yes, when he heard the drumming, felt it might be worth again trying for a while

The other day I saw him, he was walking on the path

I said the other day I saw him, he was walking not alone

For there I saw you walking, walking side by side

I Said there I saw you brother, You were from that time gone by

There was something that you left there, it was almost all of you

Now is the time to find it again, now is the time to rise up from that fall

You are still you, not all was left there in that frozen field of gloom

I am talking to you, anyone who found they could not go on in that pain

Anyone who found themselves somehow needing to find a place to hide

My message is you do not need to die in shame, rise up with the phoenix

My message is to rise up, War is War, it is the same lie, the same pain

They have invented another monster, another one they call our foe

Well I say it is illusion, the same illusion that use to work, but no more

Rise up phoenix, rise up with these words, let us stomp them down

No more to believe their lies, no more to fight their Wars, no more, no more

For we are a mighty phoenix, rising with the truth to set our hearts free

We will not die in shame, for the lie you have always told, no more, no more

For you will find your justice, for I have seen it, it is coming quick

You will be seen for what you are, you will hide in the rocks, you will wish for death

For your lies have come to haunt you, your lies shall bring you pain

We shall rise above you, we shall rise who once you made low

We are the children from that time, a time you made dark as black night

But our dreams of peace are now blooming, our hopes are now coming back to us

We have not dreamed in vain, for we smell your stench from miles away

And we will shout it from the roof tops, your day is ended and gone forever

It is time for a new day, a day  of compassion, of love, peace and joy

Honor to the phoenix, she is rising in the East, feel her love within you, feel her peace

This is the hope of the world, to rise up and find her new beginnings in the dreams of you

You are the children of that War, and there are the new children of this day, rise together

Rise together , find your hearts as one, for in this all things will be resolved

Glorious morning, glorious morning, after the old has fell away, give birth unto the new

Holy angels, blessed children, sacred ancients all have come to see this day

Walk with hearts united, walk with embolden hearts of gold, for this is your day

Oh Glory, oh Truth, or Peace, you have truly won out in the end

The tears were not shed in vain, the chants not chanted for no reason, hold high, hold high

You are now the champion, who once wallowed in such grief, thinking all was lost

With tears of joy, you watch as old banners fall in flames, and you see the new coming into view

All glory and honor to the ones who battled on, who have kept the dream alive to this wonderful day

With glory stretched out behind you, and the banner of truth and peace laid out in front.

Oh Peace, Oh Peace, Oh Peace, you have finally come at last.

Sometimes, dear Healing Star, I think you're Dutch in the way you're wording your precious writes. This was just a glimpse of those moments to never forget....
How you capture things, is really a gift, an eye, you have a way with words, and as I read your soul, in your about me, I know why. However I'm not in that state, I must admire your given skills. It has such a beauty, and wisdom all around. The way we are connected, has it's own treads. And that's why I came here to applaud you. Just wonderful.

How wonderful and uplifting this is, it gives wings to the ashes of burned out souls. What a beautiful rebirth it reverberates with the reader and makes them want to lay down arms and fly with heaven sent spirits
