Walking back across the green following delivery of my three girls to school, a short poem came to me. This is the way it usually happens for me. From out of nowhere, along comes a phrase that forms the backbone of my poem. Here it is.
Phoenix
Douse flaming fires that lick and scorch my soul
Come waves of fortune crash upon my shore
Leave only ashes let me rise again
And like the Phoenix stronger I will soar
So come you waves and turn a twist of fate
Leave nothing here, relieve me of my pain
Crash down upon the torment wrenching me
So I can love and laugh, reborn again
