10-Phoenix Rising

A Phoenix Rising

Spirit is what we cry for

the rebirth of a nation.

Courage to believe

in something bigger

than ourselves.

A vision of tomorrow

where the sun doesn’t burn

and the rain water is pure.

A small, red bite

of gumption

to choose to listen

to that tiny voice

inside our heart.

Where a fall doesn’t

lead to the end,

but transforms into

a phoenix rising. . .
