Fly As the Phoenix

Rising from ground zero

from the ashes of the smoldering fire

The mighty Phoenix flies

that which once died

twice lives

She who has laid down her old ways

who through adversity has stood firm

is she who will find new ways to live

She who finds new ways to live

but forgets not the sacrifice she has made

is she who learns perseverance

She who walks on, each day by each day

is she who will gain her great mountain

But she who finds new ways to live

and walks on each day by each day

cherishing not only the new,

but celebrating the wisdom from the old

is she who will fly as the Phoenix

And she who does all these things

and reaches her hand out to her sister

who is still in darkness

She will rise with the new day

Ascend her mountain high

Fly as the Phoenix

And rest at peace in her soul

In the next life

~~~~~~~let it flow~~~~~~~
