Phoenix

Break me down to nothing,

Build me up in love,

Carve out my new edges,

And then burn the dust.

Bury me in the ground,

Anoint my head with earth,

Let me breath in her scent,

This is my rebirth.

Rising out of ashes

of who I was before,

I leave her in the ground,

I don’t know her anymore.

A breath of life I gasp,

A tear rolls down my cheek,

It seems that I have finally grasped

What means to be free.
