23. The Phoenix connection



How can I reach you
when you aren't here?
How can I love you
when I cannot see you?
Must we then rely entirely on just our souls
and their vague metaphysical antennae
just to live
and let our love survive with difficulty
on the ice of our frustration
brutally reduced to basics of our soul
in the supremest narrow-mindedness
of humiliated ashes of our fire?
But from fire rise the Phoenix
and there's our hope:
to rise again from ashes
triumphantly
to once again burn out and die
in mortal glory
more resplendent for its love than all eternity.
