Like the Phoenix I rise from the ashes

The toils of yesterday fade once more

Like the crests of the waves

Leave the anchor of its shore

I make the decision to accept

Then reflect

---------------------

Like the Phoenix

I rise from the ashes

 

My path I carve

With hands of skill

Determined focused

with an iron will

Until the day

My heart is still

-----------------------

Like the Phoenix

I rise from the ashes

 

The challenge of darkness

May eclipse

My thoughts

Stealing positive words

From my lips

Paralysing me to my fingertips

 

But again I will arise once more

 

Like I've done so many times before

 

As the crests of the wave

Leaves its anchor of the shore

----------------------------------------

Like the Phoenix

I rise from the ashes
