Phoenix Rising (for deverse; Poetic Confessions)

 Phoenix rising

from the ashes

of our grief-

We are reborn

made anew.

 

Holding our tears

glistening in sapphire blue.

The scars of rose colored talons

digging deep into the marrow

of memory

Of what once was

before lightning struck,

scars still burning

bright as sun, remembering

that dark winter night-

When our lives changed

and you could no longer

remember my name.
