THE PHOENIX RISES

(On the eve of my fiftieth birthday – 26^th July 2001)

Standing on tomorrow's threshold

I view the pages of my yesterdays,

I remember how over the ashes of time rolled

I rose phoenix like...

Regrets are not for me, nor disappointments,

Nor remorse, nor pain, for I am the phoenix,

Over the embers of a crushed life

I rose wings outstretched to fly --

Yes, I am the phoenix,

Death holds no nightmares, separation no pain,

For I have no regrets, no desires,

I have fought and won.

Standing today on tomorrow's threshold

I am the phoenix, I am time,

I am joy, I am mother earth,

It's time to celebrate life,

From ashes to embers, embers to flame,

Flame, phoenix, life, me...

One and the same,

Beginning without end, eternity..
