FROM THE ASHES

I am the newly born chick,

Freshly hatched from ashes.

Ashes of a life gone by,

Of a season ended.

I must re-learn things forgotten

Yet some memories hold fast.

I’m reminded of life as a bird of fire;

One fully-grown and quite alight…

But now I cannot fly

Or roam the skies alone.

I must rehearse my voice

And remember my song,

For I feel the day coming

When I’ll sing with a throng.

I must depend on instinct

And old memories

As I face the test

And am reset ablaze!
