    Poem Commentary

    I use the Phoenix in my writing often. I love the anology of the Phoenix and a person who has endured trauma in their life.

    Peace to your Heart  

    Phoenix Rising

     Life Burns;
    we are defined
    by what we make
    of ash.

    Wounds heal;
    the pain subsides.
    Time helps heal wounds;
    scars remain

    Anger grows
    but is wrong.
    Like fire it consumes;
    Let go.

    Forget nothing,
    learn from everything.
    Learn lessons pain teaches,
    Forgive always

    Control belongs
    to whom forgivness
    is not freely given.
    Control self

    Phoenix rising
    from life's ashes.
    Rebirth tempered by fire.
    Brings peace

    Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

    Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
