Be the Phoenix: Rise

Rise from the ashes

Rise from the ashes of your life,
Kiss the grief goodbye and fly, fly, fly,
Soar on high, soar with eagles,
Be the Phoenix, touch the sky.

Be more than your enemies,
Bring love down from the sky,
Let your former life die,
Rise like the Phoenix,
Touch the sky.

Build a new life, don’t just try,
Never mind if sometimes you cry.

Create yourself anew,
Be a better gal or guy.

Soar with eagles, touch the sky,
Be the Phoenix until you die,
And you will live up in the sky.
Be the Phoenix, fly, fly, fly…

And when you next get shot down,
Be the Phoenix, rise from your ashes
And fly, fly, fly.
Be the Phoenix, touch the sky.

Don’t be afraid,
Your wings will get you there,
Your Phoenix soul will tell you so
And fear will die.
And your soul will grow
In the field of love, where kisses grow –
It’s there you’ll learn, and then you’ll know
Lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-ve.

In the field of love is where you’ll find
Your kindred heart of lo-o-o-o-o-o-ove.
You’ll find your spot
In the field of love,
Be the Phoenix! Fly! Fly! Fly!

Lines written upon waking up from a dream of “Jill” (Kat?) singing.
Sometimes it’s just not worth messing with what is written
in a dream state.
“It is what it is.”
Sometimes in messing with it, you wind up with technical instead of passionate, missing the essence.
It’s no matter if the poem is still a “rough gem.” Sometimes.
