For ten thousand lifetimes
I tried and applied
To all under the sun:
Cloud
Water
Earth
Metal
Air
Flame
Yet it is the last that endures,
Though not in a recognisable phase.
I’m crowned by the sun,
Even as clouds conspire,
Oceans twirl,
Cold bites.
I have had many loses,
But not anymore,
Not as the heat consumes,
The light scars the clouds.
I’m power,
I’m immense,
I’m a star of my own consequence.
My anger clears my mind,
Does away with the trivial
And respite.
Wings unfolded,
The phoenix rises.
