The taste of freedom on her lips. Joy and happiness, just one battle away. Everything longed for, suffered for, dreamed, all within arm’s length. Weary and broken, the war is far too long. My spirit unable to take anymore, Her love and will power vanished, lays down her sword. Defeat. But oh, how she fought. The cliff high, the fall long. Pain ensues every inch of her as she is struck against the mountain, over and over, falling. She tries to grab hold, but the force is just too strong. Jagged rock shall be her bed tonight. Sharp stabbing pain replaces every sense, Every feeling. My fragile spirit too weak to move, falls into a place of darkness, numbness. Praying someone would find her. Save her from the shadows that encompass her, but nothing. Not even a footstep. Only silence. In despair with broken breath, I cry, “Let my spirit burn. Let the fire rise within, burning every piece. Every wound. Every scar. Every tear. Every pain. All of her, all of me, until nothing but ashes lay. My soul cannot stand. She is too weak, too broken, taken too many lashes and stabs. Too many beatings.” The world shows no mercy. No more strength. No more reserves. No will to go on. Fierceness diminished, passion vanished, loving power gone. She has faded into nothing. They tell me to push forward, get up and fight. Yet rationale and logic has no place here. Medicine, no power. She is beyond repair. My spirit is as good as gone. No choice, no hope. I call on the power of the Phoenix to heal my soul, my very being with your loving fire. And so my spirit began to sing, the age-old Song of Phoenix wings, “Fire, fire burning bright, within the depths of the deep dark night, Take my soul and burn her whole, to rise again anew.” Sparks fly. Fire ignites, engulfing her, engulfing me, inside the flames of loving tenderness. Blazing higher and higher, until she is no more. I am no more. Pure crystallized ashes, shining beautiful and bright, lay in her place deep in the reflection of the moonlight. Day break comes, the morning dew falls, and the sun shines high. Below the cliff, a cool breeze flows, in between the jagged rocks where pain and anguish once sowed. From the ashes, a baby bird appears, pure and white as snow. A phoenix, full of gentleness. Kindness. Peacefulness. My soul is reborn. Strengthened, empowered, my heart full of love, my spirit emerges, Fully armored, and ready for battle. Once a fallen soldier, Now a risen warrior. The war is mine to be won. *** Karen Kirby is a southerner who loves theatre and poetry. She believes these are the two best ways to spotlight problems and emotions in the world that are often swept under the rug. Today’s society does not always allow a person to express their deep emotions or feelings. They are often deemed ‘sensitive’ or ‘crazy’ even for expressing how they truly feel. Yet in poetry and theatre one can express these deep emotions without ridicule. This is why she writes. So that those who feel as deeply as her never feel alone. *** {Join us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram & Pinterest} Comments Bio Facebook Latest Posts Programs, Coaching & Courses Rebelle SocietyRebelle Society is an online hub for writers, artists and creators sharing their stories and celebrating the Art of Being Alive.

She has within her infinite chances to break the chains that bind her and burn the past away, to be able to let go of the shore and flow upon the winding river that stretches eternally in front of her. The bridges she burns and watches fall in the distance are those which lead back towards that which holds her spirit no longer.
