Rise of the Pheonix

Rise of the Phoenix

By: John Sills

Like the pheonix of ancient times

I arise from the ashes in my mind

Darkness took me out of sunlight

Where I could rest beneath the twilight

I mourned and weeped to ease my pain

Tears became droplets of rain

Then I stared into the sky

By the moon I was mesmerized

It soothed my scarred soul

It began to make me whole

A cascade of thoughts went through me

Bringing me back from the shadows decree

Raging fire and Draconic energy

Restored and Infused my body

Focus as sharp as a blade

Doubt and sorrow quickly fade

All at once I realize

The journey and the prize

Beyond the desert of Sorrow

Lies My grove ready to grow

I am a child of the verse

Blessings born from the curse

A priest, a gentleman , a Mystic
