Fire and Flowers
written by: beachglass
The legend of the phoenix has been told for thousands of years.
a beautiful bird who rises from ashes, reborn, with renewed strength
and power.
I believe we can rise and meet each and every day this way if we
have a positive mindset. if we try our best.
***
phoenix opens her eyes,
bats her sooty lashes,
as flames erupt and engulf
the entire room
she rises and stands tall,
planting her feet firmly
phoenix shakes her head,
her fiery crown blazes
she counts to three
eyes closed, clears her mind
she is free to choose,
this is her world now
fanning the flames,
she collects herself
as she destroys
the pieces that don’t fit
what remains is the ashes,
from the fire and flowers,
she is reborn each day
she is free to choose
I am an unpublished freelance writer. My personal writing is mostly creative writing, poetry and prose. I write about what inspires me to focus: nature, emotional growth, the search for knowledge and dreams. I've been writing poetry for most of my adult life, and sharing it on a personal website. I consider myself to be an intuitive writer, meaning, I write what I feel in that particular moment. The purpose of my writing is to establish a connection, and with that, a deeper understanding.
