Phoenix

Passion that once burned out of control
frenzied and wild
with a mind of it's own to create

Now just smoldering embers
ashes blown on a lonely wind
inspiration carried away

Hope is crushed that these thoughts
might see the light and be free to soar
free of the crushing weight of the bleak

Shaking the soot from my feathers
I rise from the ashes like a phoenix
thoughts are born and take flight

From a mind trying to fan the flames of passion once again
take a sip from the beauty of life
let the fire rage into a burning inferno

Turn things around
fly free once again
light on the highest mountain

Take a good look around me
swoop down and drink from the lake of inspiration
fill my soul and realise it's a beautiful day
