phoenix

a dignified beginning
rising from the ash
a ghostly civilisation
breathing from the past
life from death, night from day
as embers glow alight
a wondrous creature freed
at last to take her flight

i wish we could rise again...from the apathy and all the hate that has consumed the world.
there is a phoenix in all of us....we just have to set its wings free.

love this piece.

I see so much in Phoenix
I see the rise of people from darkness to light
I see the heroin inside a woman embracing changing
I see knowledge and civility taking the front row of our eyes

I see truly flying high above with humanity
lovely

The phoenix. A powerful myth. I believe some people can be like a phoenix. Rise-up and change their world. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

The legend of the phoenix is an intriguing one and this is a good synopsis of it. Nicely done imagery.
