the Phoenix

I For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; 
and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.

Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, 
that it may sing;
And let it direct your passion with reason, 
that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection,
and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes.                                  

Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet 

Beyond

Underneath

Beyond 

Gravity

Boundaries

The fire we keep

Defying gravity

Beyond

All you fear

Untouchable

(I am)Glowing

Unmistakable flame

Growing and growing

Pure energy

Wings of passion

Ashes of love

Don’t look down

Don’t let go

We will rise

Rise above 

All we knew

Rise and rise

Awaken the wind

we will rise

rise above

we will rise 

rise above

don’t let go love

hold on 

don’t let go

Nothing is higher….

Than us

Stronger than gravity and our enemies

Don’t let go of me now

Love don’t look down

We will rise above

All we know

START

Beyond gravity

Awakened wind

Beneath my feathers 

Made from all the ashes

And Beyond 

all you fear

Out of  the dark

And into

A glowing

Growing

Unmistakable

Flame

Fire

Well rise and rise

A flame

And despair

Voices of power

We are still here

Glowing 

Growing

We will rise above

Into one

Unmistakeable

Fire

Fire

Flame

Higher and higher

Rise

Fire flame

Like the morning light

There are voices of power

There is darkness and despair

Time itself like gravity 

Pressing down

But we are survivors

But we are still here

Innocence has changed

To knowing

Our hearts are heavy with regret

We carry wisdom on our shoulders (as the kindling)

The pain a lesson

Our souls will not forget
(we soon will not forget)

the mountains we climb never tire
