Phoenix of Hope

Amid the white patches of that mauve gracious dusk

I bask in an awaited dawn since I found myself from a lost world

to win over my innermost conflicts at last,

I remember the spirit that rejoiced my tattered hopes...

~~~~~~~~~~~I see my spirit guided in~~~~~~~~~~

That mighty river~~

    which flowed through rapids and ravines and

      streams that mingled into it or crossed a path just once,

         I remember the light which kept me sane...

The incessant cycle~~

      of nights and days,

        inconspicuous, anticipated, enchanting

          I remember hushed whispers transforming into soothing lullabies..

That steady rock~~

   which stands for ages facing all the odds

      to wait for a pleasant morning,

        I remember how it revived the withering moss...

That drop of rain~~

   which poured to rejuvenate life in grief,

      I remember how it soaked parched Earth in colors...

That winter breeze~~

   accompanied by frost, undesired yet gleaming with delight,

     I remember the wings that made it soar in the sky..

That lost alley in the woods~~

   which guided voyagers even when nobody liked to walk upon it,

      I remember the fire that guided a laid path...

That oak tree~~

   which grew from a sapling when storms tried to uproot it,

      I remember the courage that kept it upright...

The warrior who never gave up~~

   despite the battles lost in the journey,

     I remember the ashes that built her again...

The woman who found a life~~

   growing from a naive girl who learnt from her mistakes,

     I remember the dreams that revealed the mystery of love....

A light of faith, a ray of hope,

A drop of elixir, a soothing breeze

The fire that builds from ashes to rebirth

over lands to fly upon and rise

It guides me, lights me, loves me

I see a Phoenix engulfing my spirit.
