Phoenix phantom dwells in me

In body and soul—

I can rise from ashes.

echoesofthehills said...: I have been intrigued reading about the phoenix. The fact that it can rise from the ashes and be "immortal" captures my imagination in manifold ways. In a phoenix, I see myself as the immortal-- not in the strict sense of the word-- but figuratively through my works and my indefatigable spirit. Thanks for the observation.; 23 September 2011 at 10:12
