Like The Phoenix

Afresh I begin this journey

this voyage called life
There is no way i am looking back now
have slammed the doors behind.
  

A tear rolls down my cheek
and mixes with the rain,
as it gushes with the water running down my feet
I see all those years sweeping by in vain.
 
A gush of wind pushes me to a corner
I stagger a little before I fall,
but i wouldn’t be sitting here all night
I will stand back and never fall.
 
The long scary night envelopes my thoughts 
I reach out in the dark,
but I know beyond the nights darkest hour 
lays a dawn ready to embark.
 
Like the stray leaves I gather in a gush
and fly away amock,
but like the phoenix I will rise again

this time solid as a rock.
