Rising

[kittypaws]

Rising from the ashes
Brushing off the soot.
Head up,
Standing up tall.

This is my life
I can not let it fall.
I may have to leave behind
All that I loved.

But this is the time
To ascend above it all.
Brush off the soot
And salvage me.

You're a phoenix from the ashes of argent!
Flutter your wings and soar high!

As I interpret: 'baptism by fire'; and all that might be as a result thereafter - sweet & bitter-sweet.

All told in but a few lines. Well done.

angliholic ~ thank you! I will do my best to soar above it all.

JB ~ thank you but I do have a question...perhaps a silly one but what does Bw mean? I said it was a silly question!

Tailor thank you, you are too kind. I like to write short poems that say a lot....they seem more powerful to me....but then again that is me!

I appreciate you reading my write and acknowledging it.

You're a star. I just loved that the first time I read it. Can't thank you enough for posting it. It's a very, very thought-provoking work. Have a gold star.....no - have three!
