The Phoenix

Time has come,
My ages of trouble have caught up,
It is time.
It is the ending.
Goodbye.

Fire around me,
Burning,
Purity,
Like gold,
Burning.

My feet first,
Scorched,
And disintegrated,
My legs, burning;
Fall apart.

My Torso,
Engulfed in flame,
Falling away.
And finally,
Me.
I am burning

Pain!!
Help!
Please!
I am falling apart,
I am burnt alive,
Unbearable pain;
Screaming,
Alone.

Help.
I am falling.
I can’t bear it.
And I scream one last time,
Then Nothing.

I am ash;
I am awake;
Gather these fragments,
Of a broken life.
Assimilate.
Growing again.
Recasting myself,
Back on my feet.
Reborn. Alive.
After all;
I am a sole Phoenix.
