Burning

How could you heal
If you've never been hurt?
Won't pain be wise to feel
Since to learning it gives birth?
To the waves of the sea
Who bore witness to the Phoenix's rise
The burning's an indelible memory
Of how time has rolled the dice
Through choices that danced
At the outskirts of the bonfire
Flames weaving through the shore of chance
That never seemed to tire

I wandered

Looking to be anchored by a shot of sanity
So that I could soar despite not knowing what for
Till the flames died to embers and embers to ashes
Filling red glows with darkness to their very core

Lightning struck.
Rebirth. Hoping for
Inspiration.
