From the ashes shall I reborn
Like the phoenix will I rise-
Through the crevices of my heart
Shall divine light abide.
My sorrows are my gains
For they endow me with strength;
Falling apart while I grow
In the path of freedom, I flow,
Mind so clouded with fears
From there shall courage alight-
Across the enormous sea of doubt
A distant ship of hope will ply.
Huge spirals of waves
Daring to engulf all,
The spirit must sail through
Tending the heart's desire.
Wings on fire with dreams ablaze-
Embers drawing forth
Must keep me flying.
Through forests of uncertainty
I transgress trodden paths;
Fashioned and forged
Chiseled and gleamed
I prepare to search
My true inner being.
A purpose is all we need
In our way of life
This pertains us a sense
Of being really alive-
A tiny stone can create
Ripples in a stagnant water
A single beam of light
Can illuminate a dark corner.
Do count the small steps
They do matter in the long run
For however small they seem
You have taken them with a mighty heart.
If nothing else,
I am that burning lamp
By the edge of the door.
