The Story of the Phoenix

Once upon a time...
The beginning of so many love stories
The words let go, as if a dam has burst
Flooding the brain
Time passing by
Toxicity proclaims its place
Then, the stories seem delusional
Broken, if you will
Treading forward
Tired of trying
Trying to evade feelings & expressions
Feeling the emptiness
Expressing hopelessness & skepticism
Barely alive & struggling for air
Into the ashes...
Then out of the flame
A new beginning
Lessons.
Learning cause and effects
Observing.
Observing behaviors and reactions
Working.
Trying.
Fighting, battle after battle.
Sacrificing.
Falling,
Into the ash...
Emergence,
Out of the flames
The TRUE beginnings of
Spiritual guidance
Eclectic mixes
Eccentric beauty
Ego dissipation
Rising of id
Then, understanding
And THERE she is!...
Living & Loving,
Happily ever after.
