a Phoenix bursting into flames,
dying unto itself,
re-birthed from its own ashes
is a beautiful image.
As I just took a moment to stop
and listen to the rain fall
onto the ground outside my apartment
I thought
and continue to grow

Those that we journey with
on this adventure that is life
creep into the depths of our hearts
and pull me from the ashes of my own rebirths,
and into the brightness
of the sun
of the new day.
