FROM ASHES

Only ashes left, of this once great empire

Empire, the result of childish desire

With everything covered, with the best attire

But these conquests, body and mind did tire

Now all destroyed, by the fire

 

From these ashes, a phoenix did rise

Never head turned, to gaze at demise

For freedom of the physical, the prize

This never came, as a surprise

For I lit the fire, of my demise

 

With phoenix, boundless above

Soaring away, from the physical clove

Along its way, it met Noah’s dove

Resting where, water had cut a bluff

This new dimension, a very sweet tough

 

Sun rise, blank page, blank canvas, new slate

Seed were sown, on ashes of late

Air ashes heat water, result germinate

New ideas, hopes, dreams, grow at steady rate

The sun with its golden shine, sealed my fate
