From The Ashes
From the ashes I rose,
Peeled back every layer from the womb of the earth,
And bared my feet on the soil that could not hide me,
Wrestling against the chaos of the night,
I perceived the approach of a new day,
I decided not to faint but wait,
With no candles to guide,
I switched on the kindle of hope,
And created my path in the night's dim,
I waited patiently to be seen,
From the place I settled,
Hearing the birds sing the morning song,
I felt the joy of residing where I belong,
As I behold the eyes of the Sun fall on me...
